Which car should I get next (ideas and help wanted)?

In the pre-selection, a kind of “secret tip” comes into my mind.

My proposal would be a Mercedes SLK series R170, which is in good condition for little money. Age lowers the price, but you get a lot of solid and reliable car for your money. There are still very good vehicles that have been driven little by rich people as second or third-party cars and only by beautiful guards and otherwise were standing in the garage and used for a hatchback. Furthermore, he has passed through the low point of his price development and since he has the stuff to become a classic, the prices are rising again, so that the value loss is minimal, which is also a considerable cost factor.

Cons:

• they are no longer on every corner. You may have to look longer and more spacious.
• a little higher fuel consumption, with the data at the time being relatively realistic. If you drive the sparing, so always up early and do not always drive full edge, so that you have to get back into the brake, consumption over land is quite limited.

Advantages:

• that is classified extremely low in type 12 for liability insurance, saving a lot of money in insurance.
• extremely solid and durable technology. The engines hold more than 100,000 km when properly treated
• there are relatively many well maintained, even stunned without maintenance
• not everyone
• relatively low maintenance costs. You don’t need an expensive gear change, because the one has a control chain that holds 500,000 km.
• the has not yet too much complicated electronics that can break and have to be repaired expensively;
• Spare parts are still cheap on the Internet;
• the can still repair any free or even backyard workshop;
• the somewhat higher fuel costs are compensated by the relatively low purchase price
• he has already reached the stage of value increase. He’s not being endorsed anymore, just more expensive.
