A friend had a 20-yr-old Merc, it was about 1990 model so he had it in 2010. When he gave me a lift in it , it did indeed have a nice smooth ride. Being 20 yrs

A friend had a 20-yr-old Merc, it was about 1990 model so he had it in 2010. When he gave me a lift in it , it did indeed have a nice smooth ride. Being 20 yrs old, it had the added benefit of not costing a s** ton of money and therefore he didn't have to work for a soul-sucking sweatshop to afford it. ;) It was also still reliable, unlike modern Mercs (if anecdotes are to be believed)
