They are a good car until something goes wrong. I'm a technician and trust me, something will go wrong, and when it does, it will be expencive. If you buy an expencive car expect expencive repairs, if you buy a very cheap car, expect expencive repairs, if you buy a common car, expect moderiate priced repairs. No one thinks about a car as a bad car until it brakes. i had to do a starter in an older mercedes and the ingnition switch, total job about $1200CDN. Can't find the starter for cheap, without it being cheap quality, and the ignition switch had to come from Germany. I was amazed taht it didn't cost twice as much, if it was a new one it would have been at minimun $2500

I own and drive a Mercedes. The thing that amazes me most is when peoples eyes "bug-out" from just seeing me drive down the road. I could understand if it were 24K gold plated or something... anyway..
I would not say that the car is a step above everything else on the road...
If I had to pay Mercedes technicians to do all the work on it.. I would not want it because of the premium prices they charge to do so.
I do all the work on it myself and have not found any design flaws or defects yet..
Do an internet search for Mercedes Lemons if you want to be talked out of owning one real quick like..

Yes Mercedes is a good car to buy. Why do you think celebrities buy them? The car last a long time if you take care of it.

It is a good car but if you want to spend your money wisely and get a good car for a lot less buy a Toyota or Honda.

Yes they are excellent cars, but probably are not as maintenance free as a Honda.
Also, they are expensive to have serviced.
