Need some info

I'm in the market for a MB and I'm wondering how much would i spending in maintenance cost for MB? I know this is a really vague question, but i'm just trying to figure out if the cost of ownership is higher than buying a regular car like toyota, honda, or mazda. If still to vague than just give me round prices for owning c-class car and a clk series car....

Thanks in advance

Hi.
The cost of ownership is really dependent on how you drive and maintain the car. In some cases, MB parts do cost more than say, a Honda part - but not often. Just consider anything you buy a used car, and keep in mind that AMG parts do usually carry a hefty premium over "standard" MB parts. If you're not sure what route to go, try to get a 3v 500 or 550 car. Plenty of power, easy to tune, etc.

This guy is an arrogant jerk, ignore him. He most likely will not buy an MB anyway.

yes says the pot calling the kettle black. I am or was going to get a clk 500 but have to put it on the back burner cause my fiancee wants to get a new vehicle first. Glad I didn't pull the trigger to early. Hey sorry for the comments but after 45 post and few days gone by i had to get someones attention. Also I have plenty of money to get a MB, but i'm in my last year of school and just wanted to make sure that I won't end up eating through too much of my savings. Really I don't see me doing that if the car will only be driven 2 miles total trip to school and back to my apartment.
