    I do like the Mercs though, never had one but maybe a money pit compared with Avensis/ Octavia

    My 1999 SLK gave me more issues than any other car from my previous 25 years of driving to begin with and at one point spent nearly 4 weeks in a garage. Happy to say all resolved now and my knowledge has increased and besides regular servicing hasn't cost me or missed a beat since. Make sure you join a Merc forum for the model you get for the best how to advice.
