2000 MERCEDES C230 KOMPRESSOR TV
Cars were just as much the stars in movies and tv shows of the past as the actors. Also wonder how many of today's youth care about the cars, trucks, suvs, and crossovers that are in today's shows and will that make any of them interested in vehicles. It will be interesting to see how many shows in the future start featuring more vehicles from a specific brand. I wonder if some of the manufacturers are going back to advertising their brands by providing them to tv shows. The Good Doctor had Lea's new car a red Mach E with that same white stripe of the Starsky and Hutch Torino. the last remake of Hawaii 50 had Camaros and Chevy products unlike the original that had Mercuries. Both the old and the new Magnums have the red Ferraris. Jeff S It seems for a while you did not see as much car placement in movies or maybe it wasn't as noticeable.It all gets back to protecting dividend payments, nothing more!! Lots of family meetings in the kitchen to discuss strategy.In my 33 year career, I've gone thru 8 of these programs (forced ranking, right sizing, consolidation, re-alignment, Performance Improvement Programs, market adjustment, etc, etc, etc). Also, due date of March 25 is very short. 3SpeedAutomatic Such a plan is OK if very young (just list the GM experience on your resume) or very old (now is the time to pull the ripcord if 55 or over).Kosmo I've got a 2013 XC60 T6 R-Design, complete with silky smooth, rip-snorting inline 6 engine and 66k.If I were selling, I'd cheerfully take half what this lunatic is asking.And I'm no fan of Volvo's touchscreen interface. FreedMike Lovely car, but I'll join in with the others who are nervous about buying a used car with this engine.Of course, I have a newish Highlander sitting by just in case, but still. And it's waaaay more fun than an Altima on my weekend errands. 3 years of ownership and less than $1k in repairs. I'm working on doing the same thing with my BMW Z3, bought for $3k. I drove it for 50k miles, fixing surprisingly few things in that time, and sold it for $2k 3 years later. If you do your homework and aren't afraid to get dirty once in awhile, they can be good buys.Ĭase in point: I bought a nice Volvo 850 years ago with only 68k miles off the original owner for $3k. At least I'd have gotten to enjoy driving a BMW than living with a penalty box. I'd rather buy a good-running e46 for $2500, keep it on the road doing the bare minimum with cheap parts, then sell it for a few hundred bucks or junk it in 2-3 years when something expensive finally breaks. Also, everything that made them more appealing to drive than a sentra when new still holds true today: better driving dynamics, safety, comfort, etc.Īs long as you can find one that's been maintained and in decent shape and can stomach doing minor repairs yourself, why not? Provided it's a bread and butter model like a basic C class or 3 Series, and not a complex, high-end S or 7 series, you can get yourself a pretty reliable car for dirt. Personally, I'd rather drive on old Benz or bimmer than a ragged out Sentra for the same money. Maybe i'm crazy, but I can see value in SOME old German stuff for CERTAIN buyers.
