      Allegorical, but I have 2008 Mercedes C300 (W204). I purchased it in 2017 with 90k miles and I’m currently at 190k. It’s still my daily driver and overall I remain pretty happy with it.

      The tl;dr of this car has been toyota-like reliability with maintenance/repairs being uncommon but more costly when they need to be done. I wouldn’t assume my experience is indicative of Mercedes overall.

      I’m not a mechanic but I am an engineering technician and test driver in automotive T&V

      All the luxury German brands are great cars until the warranty runs out.

      After that, the car will last as long as your bank account can hold a comma.
