It&#8217;s likely not what those seeking to be like Elvis Presley have in mind. But buying one of the two 1970 Mercedes-Benz 600s once owned by the iconic performer couldn&#8217;t hurt — if you have a spare quarter-million dollars or so.




The $15,000 Mercedes-Benz was originally purchased by Presley in 1969, who paid $5,500 in cash [...]]]></description>

Porsche is arguably the most desirable attainable cars. It&#8217;s also the the most expansive to insure. In fact, four of the 10 most expansive cars to insure are manufactured by Porsche, including the most expensive, at nearly $3,000 a year.




According to Insure.com there&#8217;s only a $240 difference between the most expensive and 10th most expensive [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard to understand what motivates a father to buy his son a $360,000 Maybach for his 16th birthday. But rapper Sean &#8216;Diddy&#8217; Combs has few equals when it comes to extravagance and bad taste.

It isn&#8217;t often (OK, maybe never) the price of a luxury car gets reduced by several thousand dollars. But that&#8217;s what Mercedes-Benz did with 2010 models, including the E550. But Mercedes-Benz not only lowered it prices, it did so with a re-designed vehicle, not the staid offerings of yesteryear.

Diesel-fueled automobiles have been fixtures in Europe for years, but the trend has never been embraced in the United States. The U.S. government has always been cautious with regard to diesel fuel and its reputation for high particle emissions.
