Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Armored Mercedes-Benz S500 For $76,000?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Armored Mercedes-Benz S500 For $76,000?-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:19

75% of readers think that $45,000 is just too much for , no matter how original it might be. But how about a crime-boss-grade bulletproof Benz for 76 grand?

How much is too much for a car? When is the price nice, and when is it time to take your sorry self

We've got no idea what the going rate for a bombproof, bulletproof '93 S500 with 155K miles might be, so this car might be the best deal to come along since Adnan Khashoggi was offering Ollie North a buy-one-get-one-free deal on SA-7 missiles… if you're a full-time member of the penumbral economy, that is. The eBay listing doesn't provide any details pertaining to armor specs, which would seem to be relevant information to an up-and-coming syndicate enforcer; does "bomb proof underneath" mean that it'll stand up to an antitank mine detonating below, or will some rinky-dink black-powder IED packed with lug nuts mean a promotion opportunity for your second-in-command? These are important questions to this car's intended demographic. But hey, maybe that price is a steal regardless. What do you say?

[, thanks to Jon for the tip!]

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
