It’s “The One About That TimeJennifer AnistonBought a Lemon”!
In a recent interview withPopSugar, theFriendsstar, 54, looked back on what she called her “first big splurge” — using her first paycheck from the hit sitcom to buy a Mercedes convertible.
“There was a little white 280 SL Mercedes and it was there for a long time,” the actress said of the car, which was parked alongside Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. “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.”
The star shared the misstep while promotingMurder Mystery 2alongside her costarAdam Sandler, who was seemingly incredulous about the story.
“Two drives?” Sandler, 56, asked Aniston.
“It was a lemon, and that’s why it had been sitting there,” she said, indicating the car had major manufacturing issues. “I didn’t know any better to get it checked out, so that was just a nice 25-year-old mistake.”
Despite her rookie mistake — which happened during season 1 when she and fellow cast members earned $22,500 per episode — it was likely just a minor hiccup for her bank account early on. By the end of the NBC hit’s 10-season run in 2004, Aniston,Courteney Cox,Lisa Kudrow,Matthew Perry,Matt LeBlancandDavid Schwimmerwere each making $1 million per episode.
