      Yes, but since the mid 90s MB like all others went downhill never to rise again, today their cars and SUVs have all the gadgets that u really do not need, and cost a lot of money 🤑💰 but they purposely built these vehicles to fall apart fast whereas older MBs from the 80s all the way back to the beginning are still in great condition as if new, the time when quality matters, today it is all about quantity, disposable junk good for 1-5 year the most 😊👍💯💯💯

    What happens to those rare gas operated cars when all is green. Will it decrease or increase value

    • @SgHawk144
      @SgHawk144 2 роки тому +2

      Increase. If it’s something special it will hold it’s value, it won’t stop being special just because fuel is hard to get. As a lot have noted, cars like this one likely won’t get driven anyway.
      Your regular runabouts, accords etc. will drop .
      All guess work of course at this point.

      Your real sadness is being broke, Darrin. What does purchasing a car have to do with the earth and what things that are important to you have to be important to someone else? Why wouldn’t you make it an important thing to stop being lazy and broke?
