I sure wouldn't buy a Mercedes. They have lots of issues. I did make an exception in buying a Sprinter. Lots of issues, though mainly corporation caused. Just a year or so ago they behaved very peculiarly to my need for a new EGR valve. They weren't pressed to find and ship the part. I had to go to a German board member to get Mercedes USA (or whatever they currently call themselves) interested in my need for the part.
More to the point, I guess, is that Mercedes seem to be in the shop a lot.
