We are here to ask questions about Mercedes Benz - not to get suggestions on other cars to buy. Why would someone assume that someone who would own a Mercedes would own a piece of crap like a Lexus? If you do not know the answer to a questions about Mercedes, then please do not answer and go answer questions in an area you DO know. If you had even owned a Mercedes you would know why we love them so much.
The reason I ask is because every time I ask a question about one of my Mercedes - someone answers that "well - I don't know much about Mercedes but why don't you buy a Lexus?'. Duh. I just get sick of it.
I already have 4 Mercedes and they are cheap to insure and to repair. They got a bad rap long ago.
Wisdom ??? (glad you have those question marks). Again - this is a Mercedes forum. Find somewhere else to peddle your Japanese cars. I have not had my 1990 W1234 in the shop for 4 years. Just had the front brakes done ($250 including rotors). My other 3 Mercedes have also had no major problems. Maybe I have been lucky but your sweeping generalizations about Mercedes are ignorant, at best. Sounds like you had a bad experience and want to try and ruin it for everyone else. Give it a rest.
