they're from post-chrysler era and diesel engines are super tough so you'll be fine. just avoid AMG at all costs

They're pretty solid, I would buy one.

>just avoid AMG at all costs

And why is that?

3 series BMW from the same year is better.

exclusive and expensive parts, performance over reliability. just get a diesel, there's a reason german merc taxis do well even after one million kilometres. if there's something mercedes excels at, it's producing bulletproof diesel engines

the corolla is unbeatable

Should be pretty reliable. Mercs are basically about preventative and regular maintenance. My father has a 2001 ML500, and when they tested the engine about 2 years ago compression was still basically like new, its done nearly 260,000km without any major issues and is still his daily driver.

Yes, good car.

Expect maintenance to be more expensive than usual. I just paid $400 for the 40k mile transmission "service". In general, expect to spend $500/ year on upkeep.

Facelifted w204 rides better than same year Lexus IS and has better interior layout and materials.

>mfw i've been thinking of selling my boxster and getting a C63 or an E60 M5/6

Why not?

Im not really expecting them to be cheap to run.

I want an axe murderer on wheels

How?

Only old people use Mercedes Benz. Don't do it OP.

F30 better.

I'd say closer to 500 per 10k

>buying anything that isn't an appreciating asset

Do it.
I own a 126 and a 202. Both pre-chrysler ERA and when Mercedes-Benz makes a products by themselves you can't go wrong.
