Absolutely, assuming your buying it for value and not mental state or the financial ability to easily do so. You know another thing that always bothered me was seeing people driving gorgeous Ferraris and such in the rain or snow and I expressed my feelings to my wife. She asked whether I thought it unusual to drive my New Beetle Turbo in the snow. I said of course not. Her answer was well what if his Ferrari is the same relation to his salary as your Beetle is to yours? How do you know what he's got in the garage for his sunny days? So people will buy the C Class as their tool, their value car just because they can afford to.
