Car history: Mercedes best models

Throughout the world everyone knows the luxury car maker's name, Mercedes-Benz. Creators of some of the most innovative, luxurious, and beautiful cars, it's no surprise that they've produced a variety of "classics" that are unforgettable. Here are some of their best models, not in any particular order.

1.) 2000-2006 S Class- This classic design is one of my favorites from Mercedes-Benz, and since it is one of their most expensive cars, it is as luxurious as it gets. The car originally retailed for anywhere from 86,000-114,000 if you got the AMG package. The car can now be bought for between $20-30,000 used. I must warn you though, since this is a truly luxury car, it is expensive to maintain, and has an 8 cylinder engine which can be costly, especially with premium fuel.

2.) 1994-2000 C Class- This is also one of my favorite cars of all time, not just my favorite Mercedes-Benz. I prefer this design to some of the newer ones (not the newest ones), as I think it really shows how luxurious this car is, even though it is a little small.

3.) 2008-Current C Class- When Mercedes-Benz decided to redesign the C Class in 2008, I think they really hit the nail on the head. I see a good amount of them on the road when driving in wealthy areas, so it seems people like the design. Also, they have both a Luxury and Sport model, with two different designs based on whatever people would prefer. The luxury c class looks like a $100,000 car, which is really appealing to me, and the sport model looks like a great, fast car, also very appealing.

4.) 2003-2008 E Class- This is a classic Mercedes-Benz Luxury design, and offers a great amount of luxury for not too much money, retailing for around $50,000. This is less popular than the C Class of course, as that starts at $30,000, and is a true sign of wealth and class.

5.) 2005-Present SLK- This is a classic and luxurious sports car. This car is small, but is really fast, and quite luxurious. And for the amount of car you get the price, it really is worth the $45,000-65,000 if you can afford it.

6.) 1988-1993 300 Series, The 300E is a great looking car, and has the classic 1990s Mercedes-Benz look. What I really like about this car is they last forever. These cars can easily go 200-300,000 miles, and you can pick one up for dirt cheap today. They originally retailed for about $50,000.

These are some of my favorite Mercedes-Benz models of all time, and I'd recommend all of them to people who love luxurious well made cars.
