Mercedes - Owner Opinions

[VXorado]

More or less looking for particulars if possible, not garbage opinions that did not point to a particular problem or model. It would have been much different, if it was, stay away from this engine, look out for this year etc. That is typically the info you acquire when asking such questions, including overall reliability - which I assume those would fall under.

Like I have been told, the Daimler Chrysler Benz are the ones to stay away from, from my VIN, I have succeeded.

I assume I should have updated this thread and stated, info was acquired elsewhere but valuable opinions are still welcomed here. Obviously, opinions with like I said no particulars wouldn't/shouldn't change a decision.

...and I can say the Merc I've driven of the same model & year (just different engine) has been flawless. You should be good with your new ride

Although I still want to se some pics or it didn't happen.

Congrats! You will not regret it! As I said, we haven't had a problem with our C280. Mercs are made to last and are very safe.

In reference to the "2 Merc buddies"...The fact that they said "I would just get a Corolla" desqualify them from life.

Enjoy your new Merc! And please send pics!!

When I ask for opinions, I am fully prepared for the critique. I guess that just means I am ready, willing, and mature enough to accept the onslaught of various "opinions" that I asked for. Rethink your title next time. I had not read through the plethora of posts following to the point to where you had actually already bought it. This information was not known to me by my post time. In the future, I will read on before commenting when asked for opinions before posting, though, probably best left alone if it is you asking for what you only want to hear.

Sorry if you feel offended, it was not the intention, but at the same time, I do not apologize for jumping on the bandwagon of yay-sayers. Do enjoy your new car. I certainly hope it provides you with all that you are looking for.

For the record, I am always told my car(s) are garbage. Funny thing is, I smile and I don't cry about it....
