little story about my S550 Mercedes … took it to the shop for oil change , shop said turbos are leaking oil , $12.000 for new turbos … took it to another shop for second opinion, they said , turbos are perfect , need nothing , but my timing chain cover plate is leaking oil , $6000 to fix it … got home , look it up on KZbin , well known issue with m278 engines , timing chain cover plate leaking oil , it’s easy DIY job , new set of screws and one tube of silicon sealant , $100 … but oil leak is very minimal , it’s not even a leak , oil just seeping, no oil puddles underneath the car , car runs great … third mechanic said , don’t worry about it , just keep an eye on oil level … so in couple weeks I got from $12.000 to “don’t worry about it “ … sometimes it pays out to do a little research…

I'm European, German cars are not unreliable, in fact they are very reliable, just do regulars maintenance . US just doesn't have proper mechanics for those cars. For example, you had to google that common issue, but most wannabe mechanics know that. There is bigger common knowledge. French cars are known as unreliable, and still a lot of people drive them. In fact, if you ask French car owner did they have any problems, they say that they did not have

The is300 and 350 have the exact same engines. They both have the 3.5 litre V6. The is300 is just a detuned 350 which you could argue is more reliable since the engine wouldn’t be pushed as hard. Suckers pay 10k more for the Is350. The Is500 is the real step up.

The Mercedes M276 engine is rock-solid. They eliminated the balance shaft, simplifying the design and reducing potential issues. Personally, I prefer the E-Class over the C-Class; the E-Class not only uses higher-quality materials but also has a noticeably quieter cabin compared to the C-Class.
