Has anyone bought Mercedes parts or paid for maintenance lately? My car has German nothing. It also has Swiss nothing. It's also about 25 to 50% as expensive to get parts for.

I've never been impressed with German engineering when it comes to cars. I've seen how long it lasts and how much it costs when it expires.

Yes.

It's generally fairly reasonable, especially compared to Japanese cars.

Mine is 21 years old and just getting broken in. Sure, odds and ends go bad (my climate control fan is making noise right now), but overall the car is in a heck of a lot better shape than your average 20+ year old Japanese or American car.
