I NEED IT NOW.

I was about to comment about which one is more reliable, but there's a lot I can forgive for a 200hp difference. I need DeMuro to buy one for his next subject.

My uncle bought a 2010 S class, 1.5 years ago for $59,000 with 30,000 miles. Since then, his maintenance costs have been a regular service and a service B. Totalling about $1000.

You win.

Deprecation is awesome. I've seen condoms retain more value after one owner than some luxury vehicles.

I agree completely, my 2005 S500 was purchased 3 years ago for $24000 with 23000 miles. It has almost every option and was in perfect condition. I have replace the idle speed motor with a junkyard part for $200. The air suspension pump was getting noisy and slow, so I replaced it my self with an aftermarket unit…

Tavarish, I love your articles and love depreciation. I currently drive a 1986 MB 420 SEC (less than 70k miles) in beautiful condition and a 06 Elise. I can do basic maintenance, but only after watching/reading "DIY threads on forums and websites." I grew up in the suburbs and my dad changed the oil in his cars and…

Well, microprocessors are really handy, cheap, and effective, so every manufacturer uses tons of them. Technically, each as a computer, in a rather 80's sense of the word. Fantastic for doing the same simple jobs over and over again. Very reliable. Wait wha?

$105,ooo for something that still looks like a 2006 3-Series is insane. Explaining to people that it had a V-10 every time they saw it would eventually drive me insane. IT'S A V10!!! I'd shout as they dragged me away...

I hear the narcotics game is strong in Philly; you should get involved with that.

You're talking about the 80s, in some countries. Right now, in 2014, Toyota is doing great, Nissan and Mazda are doing fine, Honda/Subaru/Mitsubishi/Lexus could leave and no one would notice as they generally don't offer competitive vehicles in the volume segments, especially the latter three. This has nothing to do…

Whenever people find out that I worked for Porsche, they always ask the same thing. They look at me for a second, then they think. Then they look at me again, and they think some more. And then they say: "Are you the asshole who designed the Panamera?"

I've driven it as well!

I did the same thing to my friend's mom's Camry on freshman year Spring Break after running my own car into a ditch in heavy rain off I-75.

Funny story actually. There was a fly in the cabin. The driver took care of it with a direct hit, and that was enough to finish off the car's ultra thin glass as well. They kept it a secret during the event.

That name

Right. Your average Bentley buyer is able to get a Bentley in the first place by saving money and sticking with their cracked-screen iPhone 4 with a funny rubber case that makes it look like an old Game Boy.

Bring your own cable? What do I look like, some sort of Toyota-driving peasant?!

I'm more surprised that they don't simply provide a USB port so the customer can plug in whatever cable they choose.

Running diesel brown Benz for under a grand? This might be the most obvious NP yet.
