  • @lgyeresi

    Let's assume that your Benz averaged 14 mpg, and premium cost on average $2.50/gal. Over 8,000 miles, you will have spent $1428 on fuel. Add this to the $7068, brings your cost of ownership up to $8496, or $1.06/mile.
    The IRS reimbursement rate in 2017 is 53.5 cents a mile, which is a fairly good estimate of what it costs to own an average vehicle. Your costs per mile are roughly twice the average, just to put it into perspective.
    I still think you made the right choice, as an S600 is way more car than your average vehicle.

      @Moist_Handshakes 7 років тому +23

      My S600 is a near lemon, tbh. Lots of stuff failed much sooner on mine than it should have. I suspect this is like that for a lot of them. But it's only dumb stuff that fails. Otherwise, it is mechanically solid. Just the electronics and plastic tabs. So many broken plastic tabs.

    • @the74impala
      @the74impala 7 років тому +13

      @the74impala I guess the statement is best used as a joke. And jokes can be funny when they have at least some truth to them. But you said it quite right. Especially if you enjoy doing the work. Otherwise it becomes time vs money.

    Here's the solution to your language problem, and again it comes from Germany: We call the driveshaft flex disk the "Hardyscheibe". If you were to translate that into English, it would become "Hardy disk". Not hard disk, but hardy disk. No idea where that name came from, but it sure is easier to pronounce than driveshaft flex disk.
