So.. my 24 year old venerable hand-me-down 300SD turbo diesel MBZ seems to be on the last stretch with over 300k miles. Things are running well, recently rebuilt transmission and injection pump, etc etc. A had the thing repainted a few years ago, so exterior is nice. The inside is a war zone: torn leather, broken passenger seat, cracks in the dashboard, and most of the woodtrim has come loose (the nice thing about this is I can brag about being the starter of the "aluminium finish" haha). The odometer stopped working yesterday.
But it runs, and it runs well. I like the comfort, visibility, and stability the car commands on the road. My first girlfried didn't mind the war zone, and enjoyed the washing-machine-like ride from the diesel engine. My parents love that it takes 2 days to reach 60mph.
Should I get a new car? I'd love a convertible, or something like the jaguar xk8.. but that one's out of my reach. Considering the bmw z4, or the convertible 3 series. Either than, or stick to the c230/240 from mbz. I dunno *shrug* I have to consider with a new car, not only will I have payments for the first time in my life, but I'll have a huge increase in insurance and the cost of all the chicks I'm going to pick up. 😱
Thoughts? 😀
