Fuel cost has been eating my lunch driving my ML430, even at 19-20mpg on premium. I am staying home too much because all I can think of is $50-$60 for a tank of gas
So I bought a '96 Mercedes E300D today. One owner, 100K miles, loaded to the gills with goodies that still work, etc. etc. Three liter, 6 cylinder diesel, automatic. 35mpg. Perfect CarFax report. Paid a tad over NADA for it, but it is a creampuff. It wasn't easy. I scanned eBay, Auto Trader and craigslist all over the country for 2 weeks. It showed up at 9:30 this AM and I bought it by 11:00. Three other offers were in while I was buying it.
Anyone know right offhand if this limo has a tow rating? Think I could tow my Boston Whaler Striper 15 (maybe 1500# ready to launch)?
Skinnywater: Got any scoop for me on tow packages and rating?
