You are correct!



He ended up not telling us what to look out for when buying used Mercedes cars.

Let me take fuel consumption as an example, OP said older Mercedes are fuel tastier but newer models too can be gas guzzlers.

For example, old model Mercedes 200 (I4) (flat boot) would consume about the same fuel as a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor (I4). So, engine a car is fitted with plays a role, not just model.
That is not to say that technology hasn't improved to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and so on.

Your write up is an attribute of old vehicles not just a benz. There are even cars that the maintenance cost is more than what a bugatti veyron maintenance would cost. I don't want to be an antagonist so we will manage the article for FP sake and FTC if it eventually makes it

Grew up driving benz cars from the 190 to the w124..it was until I handled a Japanese car(EOD) that I realised the difference..the car felt light and the steering handling felt really odd to me..it just lacked that overall balance and sturdiness of benz..

unless you re buying a tokunbo, benz has no second hand value, parts are pricey and scarce for some models, older ones are durable though.

Your hatred for anything Benz will not help your sense of judgement. Quote one comment above where someone "insulted" Benz. Moreover, the writeup ain't deep and comprehensive enough. E.g A W202 or W203 C180 will save more fuel than a regular 3.0 ltr Japanese car all things been equal.

I thought this your sentiment will end in the other thread. Why expose your ignorance continuously? What will you say about someone who just bought a highlander but would rather prefer his old E class to the highlander? Highlander is now for wifey while he is planning to upgrade to an ML. Once you taste of the Benz savour, you would rarely be pleased by any Japanese brand.
