Gee people let's get this triaght.
M-B's and
shoestring budgets are complete opposites.
I would never own a Toyota, for the simple reason, a few years ago I volunteered to do a tune-up on one, for a friend of mine.
Went to the dealership to purchase OEM parts and got chastised by the Service Advisor, for doing underhood-work on my own vehicle!
He would not even tell me what sparkplugs were required.
So Toyota ( substitute Honda, Nissan, etc. ) you can kiss my rosy red cheeks, as I will never buy one of your s.@^% buckets.
