<p>There is someone in our neighborhood selling a 2001 Mercedes E430 for around $11,000. </p>
<p>How would you guys feel getting this car for a 21 year old grad student to drive across the country from NY to SoCal?</p>
<p>There’s no doubt about the pure quality of this vehicle. It is a lot of ‘car’ for 11k. V8, 250+ horsepower, premium leather, incredible aesthetics all-around. Now I know about Mercedes’ and their long term reliability issues due to their very high cost of repairs and maintenance. However - what has really struck me about this particular vehicle is that it has only logged 34,000 miles! That’s like only 2 to 3 years worth of driving; and therefore I think this could be a potentially really sweet buy.</p>
<p>Penny for your thoughts?</p>
<p>[PS - sorry for the double post, wasn’t sure where was best to place it.]</p>
