Looks like a Merc to me. M-Class?

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Yes, it's a Merc. 1994 E300 with 42k original miles  Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a black W124 Merc. It's the car that was always driven by badasses in random movies, even as recently as the Bourne movies. When I bought my Accord, I couldn't find any with a reasonable amount of miles, so I just started saving for a low-mileage example. Eventually I found this one, and it was for sale for pretty much exactly how much I had saved (I had about $200 left over). 32 mpg on first tank, city driving. Not bad for such a huge car.

Cool 
Older Mercedes diesel are built like tanks. You should be able to enjoy it a long time.

I drove a Cosworth W201 about a year ago and liked it, but I didn't want to have it for a daily driver. I'm a bit weird, but I think it's too special of a car to drive in the snow and crap every day. And I just know that one day the dogleg gearbox would make me back into some poor chap off a light.

Yes, that's my goal. It has every record since new (and even the original window sticker). Only one owner, and it's a doctor that my father uses. I won't keep it as a daily driver forever (and I still have my Accord), but it's a car that I plan on keeping until I die.

Throw some more pics in here - that's a great goal! Always wanted to find a great-condition mid-to-late-90s M3 but, unfortunately, where I live anything older than 15 years is a rustbucket if used as a daily driver. (Not to mention those cars have since climbed in value of course...not too many of them left on the east coast.)
