but worth it if you are keeping the vehicle... I still think of "Grandma" sold last spring. Damn, but needed space as I no longer have a garage

I'm keeping mine as it's in that rare combination of so worthless I might as well keep it and so fun/reliable I would be dumb to sell it.
I probably have the worst C43 here. The paint alone is just bad. I'm embarrassed to be seen in it. Trying to figure out a way to get it repainted for less than an arm and a leg

Yeah unfortunately and after 12 years of care and love. Was moving and I no longer have a garage or a safe place to keep her in. Even my C63 lives outside now 
I certainly would have kept Grandma if other priorities didn't make me take this decision. I have no idea where she went, as the sale was done via my local MB dealer, but I hope she ended up with a connoisseur.

Unless you threw a tracking device in it..... (just kidding...)
