I just checked home prices in LA/OC County area, and homes are so expensive, like there's no nice homes under $700,000
I really wants to live in LA in my future, but is there any chance I could if I'm not rich. Homes are expensive in NJ too, but I live with my parents now so..


PLEASE GOD MAKE ME A MILLIONAIRE!!!

Glad to see you're happy with your purchase.

Let us know how the vehicle fares through it's warranty period.

I'd be curious to know what you think of it in the years after the warranty runs out.

I know these cars make a lot of aftermarket MB specialty shops and techs very happy when the cars are no longer serviced at the dealerships after a few years.

If this is a HS kid he's a total wacko for wanting and getting an expensive car from parents. Probably spoiled too. In HS, my parent didn't want me to get a car saying I'd be spoiled. I had to bike most places I wanted to go to. Made me really fit though.

Congratulations !!!!

50,000 trouble free miles, and still grinning here.

Don't despair from what others say. Next thing they will tell you is "Consumer Reports" lists Mercedes as having nothing but problems.

BUNK !!!!

Let me know when you reach 200,000 trouble free miles like my old Suburban. Nothing but gas. oil. and tranny fluid changes. At 200,000 I had to replace front ball joints and tie rod ends. Still clicking away strong with almost 280,000 on the odometer right now and runs like a top. My other one is still a youngster with only 160,000 on it, but I had to change the Ball Joints and U-joints this year on that one. Must drive it harder . Let us know with the M-B when you top 150k and still problem free.

Not quite, Banger

My post had absolutely nothing to do with Consumer Reports or any other "expert" opinions. I was referring to my personal experience which was anything but positive and very disappointing considering the inflated reputation and premium price.

If you are one of the lucky owners . . . CONGRATS!
