As far as the cost of maintenance (general maintenance), the Benz does fairly well, the Lexus parts can be expensive, as can those for the Jag.
I would suggest comparing the price on a few parts such as, water pump, eng drive belt/s, radiator, brake rotors/pads, headlight ass, window reg/motor ass, drive shaft flanges/uni joints and oil/air/fuel filters.
Ultimately the decision is yours, just remember that all cars have there own little problems and all can be expensive to repair.
Also insurance costs?

I haven't checked the insurance rates as of yet. That is on my list of things to do. I have been looking at so many cars and I haven't found a nice clean one yet. Either no service history, high mileage, not the colors I'm looking for, rust, etc... I'm just keeping my options open to more than one specific car and model so that I can buy something soon. Most people that have cars that are working very well don't sell them. That's what I've been noticing. Every car I have called about has some story and the dealers are out to lunch with their ridulous pricing. They rob the person on teh trade-in and push it out at above retail pricing hoping that some poor uninformed sucker will bite.
