Repair costs

Depends on a number of factors but if you buy one that’s low mileage and get a certified warranty you’ll be fine. Maybe even can find one that’s got manufacturers left.

However, the maintenance is not cheap if you’re out of warranty FYI. So.....if that scares you may want to find a newer Benz or go Lexus. Lexus has a nice warranty to 100k I believe.

She is right ! I have put over 100k miles on mine and I can tell you I would have paid too much money for repairs , car was constantly in for warranty repairs first 50k after that close to 80k I took it in for Weird noises , had front axles replaced .

car is back in because the joints on the front wheel are loose but this time I have no warranty lol so I’m not even mad because car has been relatively cheap with my extended warranty, regular scheduled maintenance isn’t that bad except for transmission fluid that one cost me 800$

For the most part: yes. Parts and labor are more on MB cars. Just a matter if you want to pay for it. Example: just got some new wipers fro my car, 45 bucks.

Such as life.

Good luck to you.

nope, they’re a wear and tear item just like brakes or rotors unless you could prove they wore too quickly
