Mercedes benz repair expensive?

My wife want to buy a mercedes benz, we're not rich but we can afford the car, i have heard though that the parts are very expensive and even more expensive to repair. Can anyone confirm this for me or is it the same as having a Chevy, ford. Ect?

I would guess that none of those who've answered have ever owned a Mercedes. The cost of parts is not excessive. But shop rates can be, especially if you are using dealer service. Recent Benz's have not lived up to the brand's reputation of rugged reliability, so you can expect more trips to the shop. Double or triple the maintenance costs for domestic vehicles and that's what you'll pay for Mercedes. Don't waste your time with this troll. The last 20 phony questions were all asked by the same person. Look at their profile--different names but all accounts were started on same day. TROLL TROLL My brother drives a Mercedes. He bought it used. When he discovered how much it costs to keep one on the road, he purchased a second used one to use as a parts car to keep the first one on the road. Even then he still has to pay ridiculously higher over priced bills for the maintenance of this vehicle! If you are used to living on a budget, then purchasing a Mercedes will kill that budget! Stay away from MB dealers and find a specialist in the marque, the cars are reliable, parts are reasonable but main dealers charges are astronomical.

  • Which car brand is better, Acura or Mercedes-Benz? My mom is wondering what kind of car would be good to replace her Mercury Grand Marquis. She was considering the Lincoln MKS but after we heard it wasn't that great of a car (and all our Ford products have been unreliable) so my mom is considering either an Acura RLX or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Looking at used ones, they're about the same price, but we might be able to get a better deal on the Acura. Which car would you get?
  • Should I buy a 1992 mercedes benz 300e or a 1999 ford crown victoria? So my options are a 1992 mercedes benz 300e for $600 or a 1999 ford crown victoria $500. They are both in similar condition although the mercedes has 190,000 miles and the crown vic has 250,000. They would both cost the same for me to insure I prefer a mercedes to a ford but the for also has automanuel transmission which I like more than just automatic with the benz
  • 2015 Mustang GT or 2015 Mercedes C300? I will be getting a car soon, and I'm debating on which car I should get. A 2015 Ford Mustang GT Premium, or a 2015 Mercedes C300? NOTE: I will be tuning the car that I buy with aftermarket parts. I'm not sure, could you guys help me out? I'm also debating if I should use aftermarket parts on a Mercedes, which is brand new. (I will be turning 16 soon!)
