Hi,
I've been a passionate automotive enthusiast for a long time. After a prolonged struggle about my driver's license and finances that went on for years, I'm finally realizing my goal of buying my own vehicle.
I want a car that is truly great, culturally relevant, and timeless.
Two options come to mind: a Mercedes Benz S-Class (W126, the definitive luxury sedan) and a Humvee (one of the most well known military vehicles).
The W126 is a masterpiece, but the Humvee carries the workhorse spirit in its DNA.
My budget is $3.5K-$10K. I know the Benz is a very solid daily driver, but I'm worried about the Humvee for practically. I'll be commuting in St. Augustine about 40 minutes daily to college.
Is a Humvee impractical for this? Considering possible leaks, part replacemens, etc.
I also found a W126 only 2 miles from where I live. And having to deal with the headache of auctions with the Humvee seems extraneous.
