X Gwagonner & 911... current Forester & F150 : the Benz is an OK car if you own a stable of cars to ride while it's getting "serviced" or "warrantied" ... 2nd owners are screwed because MB does not repair they only replace AND all parts are proprietary > once you realize that the Japanese solved the utilitarian riddle and the germans created more riddles you will save a lot$$$ > same goes for MOTOs Ducs & beemers are cool but hondas et al go & go ??? BTW i ride fix

HUGE difference between a 1980 MB and a 2005MB.

I have a friend with a 68 280SE that's still going strong.
