Fun Cars, But Maintanence Nightmares

Ten Cars On eBay That Will Make You Look Rich For Under $10,000

4. 2001 BMW 750iL

This BMW 750iL is for people who looked at the Mercedes S-Class and thought that the only thing missing from their luxury experience was the ability to do a 1g lateral skid. This car can’t exactly gets there, but it can get damn close with its staggered M-parallel wheels and its near optimal weight distribution. That V12 doesn’t hurt either.

8. 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL

This Mercedes-Benz SL is one of the best expressions of the German brand’s attention to detail and dependability. This was the last of the “built like a tank” SLs and bore the trademark, super 90's German styling, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t one of the most stately and recognizable shapes in the automotive ether. The looks are just dated enough to be considered stylish by today’s hipster-chic, and the drivetrain will outlast your grandkids. What’s not to like?

10. 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG

This Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG is the German automaker’s answer to a question no one asked. It’s a long wheelbase super-sedan with nearly 500 horsepower on tap from its supercharged, hand-built V8 engine. It has massaging seats, and it’s the price of a Civic.

Sure, servicing might cost a bit more than you’d get on an economy car and you’ll spend more on fuel than several small countries, but a lighter foot and internet search for common problems will solve those problems in a jiffy. For the sheer luxury and performance, it’s nearly impossible to beat.
