before you buy

Hi, Here are two interesting links about Merc's.
This guy is quite famous in England and write in an English national newspaper.

Then select the type of car you want to look at.
I advise you to have a look at the reliability of the W201 : quite frightening...

I will post to this only once, so I don't care what else is said.

The 201 reliability was a result of poor marketing to the wrong customers. Period. For the first time, any person that could afford a Honda purchased a Mercedes on credit and could not afford to keep it up or perform the most basic of service.... When this happend, the cars started to break down and, yes!, the reliability fell.
