Your implication is that an Ion 3 will cost less to maintain than an MB. Tell us about the upkeep/maintenance, reliability of an 11 year old car that's no longer manufactured versus a 19 year old MB. Im just interested in your decision making process. Thanks.

Not once did I "imply" that parts would be cheaper for the Saturn rather then the Benz... However, parts for Saturn and Pontiac(also no longer a company) are actually pretty easy to find and there hasn't been a mark-up on them. The wife has a 06' Vue Redline and the few replacement parts we need for that have been pretty cheap.
From my post just before this one, I said that we already had the Ion and it was sitting for a little over a year. May as well drive it. Plus it's a 5-speed so there will most likely be some fun involved as well.
