MM: Help me decide my motoring future

[Ryan T]

I personally would not get a mercedes. Biggest pieces of shit ever. My mom had a 99 E320 4matic and that car was in the garage at least once a month and it never cost less than $100 every time it was in. You can't work on them much yourself because they require special tools for every little thing. I thought perhaps it was a fluke but her friends that had merc's were equally unhappy with them. The thing that put the icing on the cake was when the transmission locked up and we had to have the car towed to the dealership, so they gave us a E430 to drive while they fixed it. Three days later the E430 died and we had to have the loaner car towed.

Moral of the story as far as I'm concerned, stay away from a mercedes.
