It's amazing that you can get a $100k car for 1% of the original cost.

yeah well i did haggle with the guy and talked him down. but it is an amazing car. as i tell everyone who will listen "why buy a cheap car when you can get a mercedes for less" they often reply that repairs are expensive which i say that i go to the dealer (most expensive repairs compared to an indy) and it still is relatively cheap and affordable. i compared it with mazda which is pricy for parts. it just makes sense to enjoy your money by getting a mercedes / that will hold up in a crash better too than some economy car....

i personally dont care about gas mileage because its something you gotta pay for regardless of price ect. but thats the only legitimate claim i can see... i get around 10mpg :o !!!

Well you scored. Let us know what needs to be done in the future.

Mine gets about 14mpg combined. The 5 speed M113 gets better mileage than the 4 speed M119.
