Well the thing is, Mercedes-Benz makes reliable engines, it’s just that they upgrade infotainment regularly, and that’s where most of the problems occur. And maintenance is key.

I have two brothers and one sister and we're proud Lexus owners. Back in the early 90s my parents purchased a 94 ES300 model from the Lexus dealership. Since then my parents have purchased over 4 Mercede models with the oldest one being an 06 E320 model and the latest one being 16. I don't remember the exact models of the other 3 but I will say that all four vehicles including that 94 Lexus are in Immaculate condition and still running like sewing machines. My father always told me if you take care of your car/s it will take care of you. his secret to all his vehicles having little to no major problems. Keep it tuned up. Keep your oil changed & Make sure all fluids are filled. Maybe one day my Lexus will have over 400k miles. Wish me luck!

I drive a 2007 Lexus is250 awd and it’s the most beautiful car in my eyes. I’ve wanted this car since i was a little boy and saved my money and got a great deal on it during the pandemic.

Never owned a Mercedes. Never will own a Mercedes. You could GIFT a Mercedes to me for free...and I'd then sell it or donate it. My 2015 Lexus RX350? Bought it at 2 1/2 years old in 2017. It's almost 4 years and 40k miles later (58k miles total)....unexpected repairs? $0. Expected repairs/maint? $550, 11 oil changes, 4 wiper blades, 5 air cleaners, 4 interior air cleaners and a battery. So I'm sold on Toyota/Lexus. I'm not giving up my 2015 Lexus RX350....it's paid for and runs awesome.

Barely 54,000 km on it, its gone through 3 alternators, constantly has a 10 start countdown then goes to limp mode, check engine light is always on. Transmission issues, rust everywhere. Best part, it has to be sent to a mercedes dealership for most of the repairs. Money pit!

It’s the model to look for. Example: 2000-2005 Mercedes with the AMG 55 engines are the best and bullet proof. I’ve own one and running strong.

I enjoy listening and watching all of Scotties videos. One thing he does not tell you is the cost of labor and it amounts too 90% of the repair cost. In my area it averages $110 dollar per hour using a flat rate manual. OEM parts are expensive because they are imported from Germany when repairing a Mercedes. I recently had the water pump replaced on my Mercedes SLK 320. In addition to replacing the pump it is recommended to replace the serpentine belt and thermostat at the same time. Total cost of parts and labor was $910 dollars.
