They stay innovating some shit!
MB is always at the front when it comes to tech.. other car makers usually adopt the tech 5-8 years later
Yep, parts and service to replace rubber wipers every 6 months, probably around $300.Nice (until you have to replace one of those fuckers )![]()

Washer nozzles in the wiper arm spraying down on the windshield is not a new concept manufacturers like GM done if for years, more of a gimmick. Having spray nozzles in the blade although a maybe a good idea but for clog nozzles especially if you live in the Northeast with snow and grim it's going to be a expensive repair.
Most people who buy used high end cars can't afford the maintenance. They have no idea that AMG ceramic brakes will cost $5000. Its the labor and parts that kill most people. You don't just buy a car you're buying a lifetime child that requires stupid amounts of money. FUCK that.Honestly, I think people should look into exotic cars. Before you guys destroy me on this, there are plenty of vehicles that are close to the bottom, if not at the bottom of their depreciation. Overall, I think those would be a better buy than any new merc or bmw. Most if not all mercs and beems will not hold their value unless its a special edition. Its all in the numbers of production. With mercs, you have a chance with the AMGs but a better shot with the black series as they are a limited run worldwide. With the beems, you better off going with a M-model and if there is a CSL edition offered. Other than that, you will take a massive hit in depreciation overtime. If you have a business/corporation, then you probably can write this off all day. But for the consumers, it may be a bad idea. The exotics have their gremlins too, but with a little research, calculations, and proper PPI, you may make out on a deal in the long run as there will be a point the car will no longer depreciate in value (hence a gallardo or 360 Modena, etc etc). I'm just saying, something to think about....
I understand history does not dictate future outcome but take a glance at the market for old S550s and Old 5,6,7 series... Essentially they are predicators of what is to come to the new generation of vehicles. Also, some have inherent engineering flaws that these automobile manufacturers refuse to address. Most BMWs still have the valve stem seal issues even in the newer gen cars as well as coolant issues....
Lastly, look at the extended warranty plans these dealers offer. I remember they used to be 1k-3k.... NOW, I've been told by dealers 8k-11k.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! What does that tell you about their product? BEEM and Benz or only in the business of moving cars... that's about it...

It’s on you if you can’t afford extended warranty but you still go ahead and buy the car.Nice (until you have to replace one of those fuckers )![]()
Notice the years you're talking about. 15 , 20 years ago Mercedes were tanks. Then they started adding a bunch of electrical trash to drive the cost up.Funny how soooooo many of you say that BMWs and Mercs are mechanical nightmares...
Over here in Germany, all you see on he road is old BMWs.
10, 15 year old Bimmers.
Shit I have one that is now 7 years old and bought it brand new.
Never had a problem.
Oh yeah, I take car of the car like you should do any car.

I make good money and many of my associates are rich. They will Not buy any of that shit. Only lease. Why because nobody likes wasting money on cars. Just because one has the means doesn't mean they should just sit back and let a company rape them.Not true...I don't know about Mercedes but BMW has a 4 year manufacturer warranty and the dealer gives you a CPO warranty(useless piece of shit) and you have an option to pay 1k for a maintenance plan because they've NOW made it so maintenance plans aren't transferable. Now, with this, you'll have an option to extend your warranty for another couple of years if you fork up another 5k.. If you get an AMG anything or any BMW above a 535, im gonna assume that the above shouldn't be too difficult to afford. Honestly, the cars aren't for broke people. If you're going to complain over prices, then you shouldn't have bought it. I plan on getting rid of my 535 before Jan of 2019 and i just got it not too long ago. If you cant afford another car before the warranty runs out or you're not a handy person, then DON'T BUY IT AT ALL.

Nothing for you to worry about....you've been pushing one of these for a minute now !!!!!Over engineered, as most German contraptions are...

Exotics? Man, you haven't seen maintenance costs until you've owned an exotic. Plus, Exotics shit wears out REALLY fast. They're not made for daily driving whereas mercs and beemers are.
There's another thread on here somewhere, but just as an example, an OIL CHANGE for a Bugatti is 21k. That's a brand new Civic or something, for the price of an oil change.
