 If you don't want drama, do not buy 
this car!! It car is a maintenance 
nightmare.  Do not buy it used without 
an exteneded warranty!! You are asking 
for financial ruin!!  This car cost me 
nearly 10k in maintenace this year 
alone!!  Read the many horror stories 
at www.mbworld.com.  Then if you still 
must have the car, lease or buy it new 
and get rid of it before the warranty 
expires. People ask me all the time 
about my S500 and I tell them to buy 
the Lexus LS430. It will actually 
increase your quality of life by 
reducing your stress level and 
maintaining your net worth.
