................ Bell Helicopter & '05 C230 SS
I've never owned a Lexus but I have owned Toyotas. Even though they are tough and never die, the choice to me was obvious and that's why I bought a C230 and didn't even look anywhere else.
With regards to maintenance, there shouldn't be much difference for basic things, now replacing a tire (if both have the same tire, it should cost you the same with both cars and that's not really Mercedes Benz fault, so I wouldn't use that to decide between Lexus or MB.

I currently own a 2003 IS300 and I am very satisfied with my car. Although I am satisfied with it, the gas mileage is horrible for me. I just recently joined this forum b/c I am currently looking into getting an 05 c230. Some people tell me that i'm a fool for considering getting into a car that is slower and more expensive. I guess i'm leaning towards the C class is b/c of the MB pimp factor.

Production of C-Class Running at Full Capacity in Germany
09-24-2004
Production of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is in full swing, requiring full utilization of the capacities at DaimlerChrysler’s Bremen and Sindelfingen plants. More than 1.5 million C-Class vehicles have been manufactured since production was launched in spring 2000.
Because of the car’s continued market success, the sedan, station wagon and sports coupe models are all posting record production figures. Never before have so many units of a particular Mercedes-Benz series been manufactured in this amount of time.
