I'd avoid Mercedes like the plague. I bought my wife a new SL550 in 2006. Biggest POS ever! It was in the shop so much my new neighbor told another neighbor I was MB salesman. When i asked him how he mad that assumption, he said..."because you come home in a different color C-class every week". At one year I bit the bullet, ate HUGE deprediation, and traded it for a 997. She put 80k miles on it with zero problems outside routine maintenance.
