Should I hold on to my 2000 Mercedes S-500

$2000 a year I think.

I misread the S-500 insurance as months instead of annual . Then we find out there is an 18 year old in the home. That will cause high insurance rates . Joel needs to talk to his insurance agent and find out if there are any ways to lower the cost. We have a low annual mileage discount plus a bundle package.

Heh heh. Your friends don’t like your car. Your son doesn’t like your car. But you like your car. Up to you but I’d keep it and switch to liability only.

If you ever get the chance, drive a 1970 300SEL 6.3. An amazing car.

I have 2 kids under 18 with new licenses living at home, and no signs of flying the coup, as long as mom is doing laundry and the fridge is full, and yes i will be taking everyone’s advice here and drop some of the coverage.

Probably hard one to come around as a mint, sounds like fun, do you have one? Would love to see a picture.

That is why the part about insurance cost is irreverent as to the S-500 . Without the young people the insurance on it would not really be much.

No, i never got one, i have a 1960 Chrysler 300F, and a 1963 Lincoln 4 door convertible. If I ever did get a big Mercedes sedan, i’d want a 600.

I agree with your decision to keep it. Gas cost is no concern since you drive it so little. If you wanted to buy one, I’d suggest you reconsider, but since you own it, keep enjoying it.

Garage space at my place is strictly whoever gets there first.

My brother and his wife came up with a car and garage sharing system where he would put the car he drove home into the garage sometime around 8am and grab the keys to the car in the driveway when he left for work that evening. Leaving the car in the garage for his wife. Only fair way for them to split the VW GTI.

You may not save much; the liability insurance is usually the greatest expense on a car of this value. Since you were able to buy a $112,000 car, you must be doing better than those who are reluctant to pay $2,000/year for car insurance.

My wife and I both are Silicon Valley techies who now work from home all the time. We have rarely driven any of our cars in a while. Looks like that’s the way it’s gonna be for us going forward.

A co-worker’s wife shared their cars this way—if a car was low on gas, she left that one for him.

Because he can? Incapable of original thought? Any combinations of mental deficiencies? Could be anything, most of his/her/it’s posts are nothing but disjointed garbage anyways.
