Diesel RVs: RE: [diesel_mercedes] Just do the math.

How’s the Leaf forum? Must be interesting talking about swapping out amps.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Just do the math.

I am paying $258 a month(5 years it's mine with no interest) for the privilege of driving a new car which is smooth quiet. I spent 900 dollars to drive for 3 years(39k miles) in electricity on our first lease. It will cost $5,500.00 for a new battery in 8 to 10 years if I make past the warranty date. If not Nissan replaces the battery for free. I get in the carpool lane solo as well as reduced tolls.

I have been into the w123 vehicles as deep as any one. Put in a transmission by myself, starter, many alternators, self leveling system including a ruptured front high pressure hose as well as two rear modules, vac pump, cutoff switch, seats many fiddly bits. I also saved 25k dollars or more in fuel by running vegetable oil in more than a decade of running these wonderful machines plus 20 conversions for myself others. So I know what I'm talking about.

If you add up all the money you spent on acquisition, maintaining, fuel you will find electrics very attractive. They are also clean air vehicles which our beloved Mercedes are not. So no dirty hands time spent on my back like a whore to these ancient chariots......just do the "complete" math. I have better things to do with my time and money...but they were fun while it lasted.
