And it made me wonder. when we opted to buy a mercedes, did we buy quality/reliability or a three point star with contiunous problems and DIYs under the hood ?
I've had similar thoughts and simalar cars. My 300D is converted to run on WVO, so I'm eating a lot of repairs myself. My Nissan Sentra is a great backup
