 “There was a little white 280 SL Mercedes and it was there for a long time. I mean, it could have been over two years. And I always was like, ‘I can’t wait, someday, someday [I’ll buy it].’ And one day I bought it, and then I drove it, and then drove it again, and it never drove again.”

“It was a lemon, and that’s why it had been sitting there,” she continued. “And I didn’t know any better to get it checked out, so that was just a nice 25-year-old mistake.”

Despite the big splurge on a lousy car, the “Friends” cast reportedly made $250,000 per episode and negotiated $1 million in later seasons, confirming that this purchase wasn’t a significant setback for Aniston.
