My only issue with helping people is when they have lots of money and can easily pay people to do things for them. I don't ask people to do stuff like that, I pay people to do it for me. These people have way more money than I do lol
"This is great we dont have to rent a truck" sure, I didn't want to hang out in the pool lol

When I scanned your post my eyes put the question mark on the next line and I did a double take.
They are collectible?
Yes, as ya'll know but I really don't know why anyone would want one to be honest. Lol
From what I hear, they don't drive that good.
My criteria isn’t about ability to pay, but about whether or not they would help me if asked. I did help friends move and when I moved and wanted to hire a moving company, these two friends stepped up big time and insisted on helping. I was and am grateful. We did rent a truck, with a lift gate even. I’ve been friends with these guys since 1985. I guess we’re stuck with each other
Takers, take when they don't need, I added this part. Haha
Ps- sounds like your friends stepped up, real friends.
After what I've been thru with family and friends, I don't help unless someone NEEDS it because I no longer enable bad behavior, family or not. Lol

From a search of ones for sale in similar condition (at least from a glance at the pictures), looks like the vast majority are in the $50-90k range, with close to half somewhere in the $60s.

the one i took a pic of is in immaculate condition (obvious serious restoration?). i think the salesperson said it was a '74?

If she's your wife's sister, it's your wife's problem. Your wife should be up front with her. If she's your brother's wife, be up front with your brother. "Change or I won't come." You can't let these take advantage of you. The more you give, they more they take. No shame.
I think your post needs some editing. Lol.

I'd just offer to pay for it too lol, which would place them in kind of a weird spot.
You drove from DC to Jersey?? You are a definitely a good family member, lol.
That would be like my sister asking to use our van or pickup when she and her family moved to Atlanta last year, LOL. Pigs would fly before she'd ask but still. It's closer than DC is to Jersey, I think. But still 3 hours.

Just drove my next car. BMW i7. Seriously the most incredible riding and driving car I have ever driven. Any concern I have about liking EVs is gone. I have no interest in even driving a V8 760.
Styling has grown on me a lot, still have a year or so before I want to do anything but this would be very hard to beat. The interior of this car just blows the W223 S Class away.

I like it better than the W223
Even outside of the styling the materials and finish in the 7 are on another level. I love the interior of my car but the new 7 is on a different level, much newer etc.

From just purely looks, I like the S class better. It looks more classy....less odd. I really like Mercedes styling. I'd buy one right now if I knew it wouldn't have any issues and the dealer gave great service.
