My Wrangler on the other hand gets a more looks and comments from girls although you see 20 at every street light.
I was kicking tyres down at a Carmax a while ago and was amazed at the bargain prices that big Benzes and BMWs were going for. A really sweet 6 series in the 30s etc.
Then I sat inside them, checked them out, took them around the block. And lost all interest. They really are old man cars. Big, fat and with more power than they need.
I felt like I was borrowing my grandpa's ride.
Listen to ur gf. Unless it is an old Benz, maybe a 1970-ish coupe, it aint cool. It's just big, fat, fast and done.
My wife initially was impressed with my old Jag XJ8, but quickly tired of it. I expect a big MB would have the same effect. My BMW 135 simply intimidated her. The power was too much.
If you do buy it, I do hope you have about $10-15K set aside for goodness knows what. The car is amazing, but sadly it seems an amazing mess.
