Today's UCOTD is a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300E.


This one has new tires, about 162K miles, and 15-inch wheels. There's a long list of maintenance and repair items that have been done -- too much to list here.

If you're interested in old Mercedes' like this one you can find it in Los Angeles -- where else? -- for $9,000. Click here to see more, including more photos.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I knew a Team Lead in 2010 who inherited a '95 from non-immediate relative which he was driving for a short time. He told me he was trading it on a Prius and they offered him $5K on trade which I thought was mighty generous so I understood... but still it should have become mine for the $2K or so it was actually worth at the time. So yes it seems successive governments have wrought roughly 5x inflation since the global fraud crisis the then government failed to prosecute*.


    *I wanted beheadings as opposed to jail but the lack of any "justice" thereof illustrates who works for who.
