I really appreciate the info that people have provided over the past few weeks in regard to purchasing a used 300e. I have but one final question.. and really it is to satisfy my wife. The car I buy (whether it is a Mercedes or not) should be reliable and somewhat low maintainence (not cost wise, but in frequency of required repairs). Provided I find a reasonably well maintained 300e, will it require a lot of maintainence? More than say a Honda Accord or Acura Legend with the same wear and tear? Thanks in advance for your reccommendations and help.
