Becoming bankrupt from the fuel costs will be pretty high on the list!!!!

Nice!
My Dad had an SL500 for a couple of years. Didn't get to drive it myself, but it was certainly a nice car to be in.
I suspect the fuel bills will get tiresome and if it goes wrong the repair bills will probably be hefty as well. My Dad found a local independent
garage specialising in Mercs, their labour charges were certainly more reasonable than Merc main dealers.
I don't know your area, but I'd suggest looking around for a suitable independent garage to help you out as/when needed.

After just a week, I am getting the impression I will be getting quite well acquainted with the petrol station staff!
