That sounds perfect. The story i heard is a businessman wanted to buy a lot of Daimler-Benzes, but would only do so if their names were changed so that his daughter, Mercedes, would be included.
Just backing you up their EvilPaladin!

Wasn't it that after Karl Benz had developed his car he was bankrupt and he went to a businessman who agreed to lend him money, only if he named the cars after his daughter - Mercedes?

I would say closer to $10,000.00 USD 12 grand at the most. It was 1962 after all.
