I'm considering purchasing a 2000 Benz ML320. It's safe, the engine will run forever, and it will hold it's value.

I just don't want to come across as an uppity jerk.

What do you think?

You and the term "uppity jerk" don't even belong in the same universe, no matter what you're driving.

Probably only in the States.

yeah, uppity doesn't describe me at all....

I was gonna say that...lol

Those rappers drive cars that are as expensive and "uppity" as they can possibly be - and they get street cred for it. So just wear a bandana or something and you'll be alright.

Besides, you're right about the quality. It's a good investment.

hunni, if u can afford it, why the hell not?


go 4 it!!!!!

But the real question is....what about the RIMS!?

They spinnin' nigga, they spinnin'!!

Sounds great! It's a great car for the elderly

Make sure u post a pic of u in it, this i gotta see.

if you're looking for a 4x4 for luxury and the "name" then your best bet is FreeLander







however if you want a 4x4 for going off road, and not just down a dirt track, the your best bet is... a Toyota Hi-Lux

this is one is about 3 grand more than I want to spend, and neither the exterior or interior are the color I want, but I can look past that.

these are the colors I want, but this one is all the way in DC

so u plan on buyin a benz offa ebay?
brave soul.

20k is all they're asking for?
this car would cost about twice as much.
I bet new it would cost around the 70k here.

I'm not buying it for the name, and a land rover is way out of my price range.

And some 600 Watt woofers!!

Naw man...."acting" like a snob makes you a snob...and "being" an uppity jerk...makes you one.

GO FOR IT, WE'LL NEED A CHIC MAGNET WHEN WE HANG!

jerseykrs said:

You're not a snob until you go buying an S class or an AMG. M class is more utility. Nothing wrong with that.

Don't feel bad, I want an S500. You shouldn't care so much about what other people think. If you think you deserve it, YOU DO!!

I already said that damnit.

Fleshofmyflesh said:

oh yes....

a "Mercedes" is a good investment.

JoeyMFinCoco said:

But it's funnier when the white girl says it.

It's settled.

I was going to buy one regardless, but I just wanted to see what people thought. My old man said, "What, you think you're better than everyone else?"

LOL, I get my bad disposition from him obviously.

I hope to purchase one soon, it will be nice to own a vehicle again. Thank god I have a work vehicle. The bonus is that I don't have a seperated wife to get this one repossesed.

I'd probably go for the BMW instead, but I'd say go for it if it's what u want. I can't imagine u really care what people think about it. I may forgive u for starting this thread just to let us know u're buying a Merc, fucking snob.
