Selections aren't limited to simply 'cars' (kit cars, trucks, and military/commercial vehicles included)Cars must have a realistic selling price under $15,000.Cars must be operable/easily restored to running condition.Completed and sold listings can be included.You can add modifications, as long as it doesn't go over the total budget.Write a short reason why your car is the best Mercedes for under $15k.
