What's your motor vehicle history?

[KKLoco]

Easily 100k.

My father’s was a heck of an investment given he picked it up for ~5k in 2000!

I didn’t know these were so problematic. What are the primary issues you’ve had with them?

Just about everything except for the engines. They are great up until about 60k miles. Then they turn to shit. And everything costs at least 4 times what it would on an American made car. Hell, I even had a heater go out in the DEF tank with only 26k miles on it. It was $4k just to replace the heater. Not the whole DEF tank, just the heater. It doesn’t help that Mercedes makes it so everything Has to be programmed by a Mercedes computer. That same vehicle had the transmission start slipping at only 40k miles.

Another example, if you want a spare key, they key costs $145. Then you have to pay Mercedes $225 to program it. It takes them one minute to program it, but they charge a full hour shop rate - BASTARDS!

They aren’t that expensive to purchase new. Mercedes makes all their money off of them through maintenance.
