My 260 Wasnt beat to hell, it was well looked after for its age, The only thing that killed it was that every wiring loom in it was ahh melted together and rotting away lol

On the upside though i sold her then the people who bought it called my back a week later saying the Transmission died lmfao

I was very very Lucky and yeah thats how my 260E Almost Bankrupted me haha

Then i bought a Volvo, I must say the 850's are a very fun car to drive, i loved that thing to death

Then my luck ran out I was in a hit and run accident with a truck driver, He got away and i was left with the damage and unfortunately my Car wasn't insured at the time, as well as i had just finished paying the car off 2 weeks before the accident

Now im in debt again, but atleast ill be driving a car That i love

Thought you guys my like to see how well a Volvo holds up against a truck And believe it or not but none of the 6 Airbags the car had went off haha

Nah thats one of my best friends, she was in the backseat when it happened she was really shaken up, She just cried for a bit, but shes ok now

One thing that really sucks about the accident was i had just spent $900 getting the car roadworthy, If you notice in the picture i just had a new windscreen put in the day before, in the corners of the roof and windscreen there's still the masking tape that was left on it.

That accident really sucked even though no one was hurt lol, But i must say it was the most Comfortable accident ever haha, i wasn't even sore from the seatbelt

She's Done 276,000k's and running well The previous owners had just spent a small fortune Fixing it up, When i bought the car the owners showed me all the previous receipts and service records through Mercedes-benz dealers, Within the Last 2 years they had this done to the car,

New catalytic converter, centre muffler and rear muffler
New Ignition and 2 new key barrels, New Inlet manifold, new injectors
New battery as well as new timing chain and links

And within the past 6 months, All new tyres, pads and discs

Alot of Money went into the car but they had finally saved up to buy a W209 CLK55 AMG

I was lucky enough to Get this beauty
