1996 Mercedes Benz C220 |
Who
wouldn't want to own and drive a Mercedes Benz if they had the opportunity? A lot of people would and some could really
care less. I've always hoped that
someday I might have the opportunity and I discovered it wasn't as far from my
reach as I once thought.
German
engineering coupled with a little bit of luxury and their fine reputation for a
standard of excellence has been quite a draw for me. Plus, I like the looks of the car. Buying a brand new Benz wasn't an option for
me nor was it particularly what I wanted.
I knew I'd be happy with a really nice used car.
This
one had everything I was looking for:
·
Excellent
condition with no body damage. Glass is
intact.
·
The
interior is intact, in good condition and no odors.
·
Leather
seats with seat warmers. Love that!
·
It is
the color I wanted.
·
Low
mileage for its age.
·
It
came with all its service records and has been very well taken care of.
·
New
set of tires.
·
The
price was right.
There
are benefits to buying an older car:
·
Lower
price to begin with. No car payments.
·
Less
expensive to insure.
·
Less
expensive to license.
It took
me awhile to locate this car. I had to
look at and test drive a lot of icky cars before I found this one which only
made me appreciate it that much more.
But I knew as soon as I made my first test drive that this was the one
for me. Of course, it always helps too
when your mechanic tells you it’s a nice car.
I may
have had to wait a long time to own my first luxury automobile but in the long
run I think it was worth the wait. It
definitely made all the crappy stuff I went through this summer seem far less
important as well.
