The reason I drive a 20 year old Mercedes is because its better made then a brand new one! People who spent over $40,000 on a brand new 2002 C-class Mercedes have most likely carted it off to the junkyard by now, and those still left on the road are squeaky, rattly wrecks. Meanwhile, my trusty 300 E-Class which is 20 years old still runs quiet, no squeaks or rattles, and the interior wood and leather is still great looking. New isnt always better. In fact, new is frequently WAY WORSE these days.
Have you seen the latest couple of Top Gear episodes? I think it was episode 3 of this season where they looked at the cheapest NEW car right now on the market in the UK and then went and compared it with available second hand cars that were on sale for the same price or slightly less. Richard got a BMW V12 and Jeremy got a Mercedes V12. Ofcourse 1 week later Jeremy's Mercedes had to be fixed for about 1200 Pounds. You should go watch those eps if you haven't done so yet.
