  • @lgyeresi
    @lgyeresi 6 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    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.

    Most companies do not cover an extended bumper to bumper warranty on older luxury cars so yes you can get these cars cheap but maintenance could be several thousand a year without a warranty!

I wanted to enter your contest but most of my fleet is strung across the US, 3 in Texas 3 in MO and 1 here in NY with me now...I'm afraid to get into the highend. Lux boxes as mist of my fleet are craigslist buys of 800 or less give or take

      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 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.
