There were 3 Infinitis parked in front of my house today. My Q70L was at the curb, and the Q50 we had as a rental (R.I.P. Sienna), and my wife’s new QX60.
Yes, the Vespa is parked in the front yard. We can’t find the gate opener.
We went and looked at a 1990 Mercedes 420SEL with $150000 miles listed for $1900.
Cosmetically, it was rough because $1900 car. But it sounded good, and no sign of rust or any leaks.
It drove pretty well except it was out of alignment, and there was a sound from the rear axle/suspension that I did not like.
Verdict:Pass. I’m willing to spend a little more to get something better.
Enthusiast dad is struggling with practical mom. I see some SC400 and SC300 examples that are seem worth a look (automatics but my son doesn’t care). The quest continues.
Here are some more shots of the new Infiniti:
I hope Oppo is having a nice weekend.

Looks like you got to the price you needed on the Infiniti. Congrats, looks like a really nice ride.

Maybe an odd question but what is going on with the Mercedes logo in the grille?

What about something both practical and cool (split tailgate and at least one turbo)?

Get him an LS400. IMO it’s the best first car. slow, yet fast enough to be safe, legendarily reliable, very safe, and effortlessly cool. Here’s one in Glendale for $4000. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?sourceContext=&formSourceTag=117&newSearchFromOverviewPage=true&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d564&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity2=&zip=93701&distance=200&showNegotiable=true&modelChanged=undefined&filtersModified=true#listing=143929986

That SEL does not look loved. Also, yeah like wobbles said, why is thd star upside down and why is there a chunk of grille missing?
