Hi
True world indeed, you should come and visit once things calm down. Great beach and nightlife.
Thanks for the hints I will try to get me a god one.

If you were unhappy with the reliability of an Audi, the MB will be equally challenging. While some people are lucky, most have an abnormally high amount of problems and they cost abnormally high to fix. Also, MB is not your stand up company and fixes their mistakes for a price. For example, the 2003 C230 has a known head design defect, for $3,500 in the U.S., they will install the new design head. If you want reliability, get an Asian or American car. They will have much less problems, stand up to their mistakes with recalls and cost less to fix.

I bought the Audi and I had it checked at two places before I bought it..and both said it was in very good condition. I dont drive a lot and Iam not an agrressive driver, However starting from teh first month, I have to fix something in the car every month sometimes twice a month.
I mean that can not be typical. and I am not talking about a flat tire, I am talking coils.gear box. oil pump...etc...
I dont want a super car, I want a car that wont need fixing every month. Fixing the car every 4 months is typical for me.

My cosuin bought the 2004 C240 4MATIC. Has had it since new and has had no issues at all. He loved it so much he purchased one for his parents. also. 2004 C240 4MATIC in the same color. Theres now has over 90,000 miles on it and they too have had no issues. Althoue for some people thats not always the case. What ever you end up buying you are going to have issues with. any car. My most problematic car was a GMC. who woulda thought that a simple suv could have soo many issues. but it happines. As for buying a Benz. Have it looked over before purchase by a local shop. Dont ever impulse buy because thats what I did with my C280 and regret doing it(Only car I ever impulse bought). Get a warrenty if possible.
