for six grand.Fsh and not a spot of rust anywhere,pulls like a train and the air con's bloomin cold..I think i can import this back to the uk for about a grand.
If i can keep it in this condition will these thing appreciate?

I have a 1996 one. I'm not betting on it increasing in value. They are great cars, but they don't have the cachet of the Cab or the SL. Doesn't bother me: I buy cars to use and enjoy, not as investments, and if they depreciate to zero and degrade to unusable over 10+ years I regard that as good value . . . but, of course, a good MB will go on and on and on, and there will always be some demand for one that has been looked after properly and had enough use to avoid the problems arising from dormancy.

I don't like the mods on the HK car and I bet the SS exhaust has made it noisy. Nevertheless, it looks like a minter.
