Don't get me wrong, it is not just German cars; any vehicle with a high pricetag is going to have absurd maintenance and repair costs.

Vulfy, my man, you did real good in buying the baby of the Mercedes fleet! $100,000 cars never stop needing $100,000-car repairs down the line. 10, 20 years later, the costs stay astronomical.

@Sharp_Coyote: if most parts for cars are mass produced and interchangeable then unless you break something specific to that car it should be fine later on? I can't see common wear and tear being a problem because the parts would be easy to find
