So, I owned a 2000 Mercedes C280 that was a fantastic car, although the paint didn't seem to have the quality that it should have. I understand the car was 15 years old when I owned it, but my 1997 Mercury Sable with 160k miles on it had paint in better condition.

I also owned a 2008 that handled great, but the shifting was weird and the power delivery was wonky. The paint was very well taken care of, but I could tell it again wasn't the level of quality I was expecting. To cure the shifting and power delivery I got a custom tune for it, but it was nothing compared (and i don't mean in overall power) to the way my Camaro drives.

Now, Mercedes dealerships smoke crack with pricing. I had to get a recall done on the airbags and while at the dealership they said I had two side marker bulbs out (which I already knew). They quoted me $60 to replace them because of course they are special bulbs that only Mercedes stocks or some crap... :P

Both cars had electrical issues with bulbs going out as well.
