I bought this car from an auction with my uncles about 3 years ago. I have owned it every since. I daily drove it for a year, but then unfortunately, the transmission broke. I took it to a local transmission shop, and the job took way too long and was sorta botched. Every since then, I’ve put less then 5k miles on it, and I’d has never been the same. It refuses to start some day, and other days it will start fine. I’ve taken it to many shops to get it sorted, but al my local independent Mercedes shops have taken my money and done nothing. At last, it sits in my drive way broke, looking beautiful, but broken. It’s hard to describe the love hate relationship I have with this car. I love it because when it works, it’s a dream to drive and pretty quick too, but when it doesn’t, it’s unless. I know if I sell it, I will lose a ton of money, and it would probably one of my biggest regrets, however, at the moment I am not able to financially afford it, and take care of it. So I’ve been driving it when I can, here and there, loving it and hating it, hoping some day, the pain will end and it will magically start working fine again.
