They had a real downward spiral for many years. I think they finally are reversion that, but we don't own a Mercedes anymore.

Much like home appliances, our 26 year old refrigerator works great. My wife bought the dryer we still use back when she bought her first house after college. The washer we use is 26 years old. Now days, and new appliance is lucky to go 4 or 5 years without major repairs.
2006 Dodge Magnum…. 230k. Not complaining.
