One day my husband bought it.

I realize it's been a while since I've written an article. As the title suggests, the other day my husband bought a Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R129). I don't know much about Mercedes-Benz, so I couldn't react when he said SL500, but I heard that it is called a famous car by car lovers.

Although the car has not been delivered yet, this SL500 is apparently the classic, normal SL that my husband has wanted since he was a child. With my husband's purchase of this car, we now have "four" cars in our home, but he has no intention of selling any of them....

"Everyday use, right? It's a family car, right? A manual convertible, right? A classic car? ...because we need all of them!

He said as a matter of course (bomb).

As I write this, it appears that my husband has been buying cars as he pleases, but he never buys a car out of love at first sight. On the contrary, he deliberates over it to the extent that he says, "I'm not sure I can do this.I, his wife, said, "Well, now that you've thought that far ahead, why not?"I would be tempted to say, "I'll buy it after collecting information and making a post-purchase simulation.

How did my husband buy his car?

I'd like to share with you about this SL500 purchase.

I'm thinking about getting a new car now. I'm thinking of looking for a used car this time, because it's a series I wanted a long time ago, but I'm not sure if I want a BMW M series, an Alpina, or an SL."

We talked about this a few months ago.

At first, he was just asking lightly, "Oh, really?" But then he showed me cars he had checked out on used car information sites such as Carsensor and Goo."What do you think of this?" "What do you think of that?"He kept asking me, "What do you want to do? I said, "You say it's the car you used to want, but what do you want most from this car?When I asked him, "What do you think?" he replied, "Well, I don't know...," explaining that he was still undecided himself.

Since then, I've been constantly staring at used car websites, and on my days off, I've been telling my car-loving friends that I'd like to buy a used car.Which one do you think would be the best one to buy?"I went to ask for advice and was troubled as if I were obsessed with "hmmm, hmmm". I also actually went to a car dealer for a test drive andIt's nice, but it just doesn't feel right, because the car is also an edge."And then, finally, I said, "You know what?

In terms of driving pleasure, car performance and novelty, the Panamera and Boxster we have now are enough. So we are thinking along the opposite lines."

So I decided to buy a classic stock SL500.

How far would you go to find out...

Later, when he came home from work, he was frantically watching Cargraphic TV, Loperaio test drive reviews on Youtube, and Top Gear. He looked like a student studying for an entrance exam, even sparing a few minutes of his time.

And when we finally narrowed it down to two cars.Do you think this one or this one is better?"And they asked me about the specifications, and I said, "What do you mean by this?" What do these numbers mean?" I asked him, "What do these numbers mean?From fuel economy, to horsepower, to torque, to design, to lights, to engine, everything has been perfectly explained.therefore

If you've done that much research and thought it through, why not just go with your gut?

I answered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I mean, I had no choice but to answer that way (laughs).

In the end, I decided on a silver SL500, which was owned by the chairman of a company, who took good care of it until just before his death. Soon, Mr. SL will come to our house. I am looking forward to it.
