All German, all the time

Mrs Heathen just this moment signed the papers making this delightful vehicle an official member of the Heathen Motorpool. The Hyundai received a diagnosis that proved financially terminal, and we thought we’d shop longer, but the deal on this little wagon — a 2005 C240 — was too good to pass up. Reached for comment, the existing German portion of our motorpool was cautiously – Teutonically, even – optimistic.

(Even after factoring in the warranty and total payments over 3 years, it’ll still cost less than the new cars we were looking at. Score!)

  1. Wagons are cool! Good choice. They are one of the few manufacturers that still make a real wagon.

  2. our diesel is named Anna, she has a very stern voice on here turn by turn navigation.

  3. You’ll have it filled with a kiddie seat and stroller soon enough. Come August we’re bring both those and a pack and play. You’ll look right at home.

    And, as a newly minted diesel owner (which is referred to using its “das Auto” moniker), I also have to object to the Liesl name!
