1. wtf is an SL 260?

is it half the size of a 520?

2. You got me. It is this really sporty looking convertible.

Kind of low in the front and higher and squared off in the back.

I know nothing about cars.

6. did it look like this?

'cause that's an SL 500

3. You'd probably get at least 2 Prius for the price of 1 Mercedes

I bet they are around $40,000 to $50,000.

4. There is one sports model that is over $400,000

But I don't think that is what this one is. I think you are probably right - somewhere around $40,000.

5. Yes, although the used market

can be doable. It was something I considered when I needed a new(er) car last year.

If you get a car w/ 100,000 miles on it it will be around $20=25,000 and still A LOT of road life left on it.

7. 5,000 used

8. Your mechanic will love you.

Trust me. My sister has an SL230, and I think it spends more time in the shop than it does in our driveway.

9. You mean to purchase or to maintain?

Purchase? Not that much. To maintain? Much.
