[quote=Trojan4Life]Look at Mercedes E-class from 2006 as well, they are $52-53K cars when new, can be bought in the mid $20K range now.
Cash is king…long live the Piggies

Might be more of a reason that the 2010 e-class is around the corner, and the current generation e-class is on it’s last year of production run.

Of course, informed people know, and the worst purchase one can make is a car on it’s last production year before a redesign, new or used.
Also mercedes in most recent times have been P.O.S. in terms of reliability. Anyone considering buying a used one better be pretty handy or ready to cough up an arm and leg on repairs….
Riddle me this….Ever heard of replacing a car battery would lead to frying electronics and needing to replace components inside a car? Something as simple as replacing a battery has caused numerous issues in Merc’s electronics (seat sensors, eltronics,etc)…Search some of the forums. Absolute junk.

Not just C320 issues.. C32K and others too. Not to mention I believe the E-class’s battery is under the rear seat….Brilliant.

December 29, 2008 at 7:50 AM #320896mixxalotParticipantGood deal on used Lexus
I would love to find a sweet deal on a low mileage 1-2 year old Lexus SC430 convertible! An absolute gem of a car with the hard top for year round driving and summertime drop top pleasure. New these go for almost 80k so used maybe 30k would be nice ride for major discount. But its sad that Mercedes has produced crap the last few years. I like the SL550 and maybe Mercedes will bring quality control back into their cars again.

December 31, 2008 at 8:27 AM #321805svelteParticipantIt appears to me that Mercedes’ strategy the last decade or so has been to come up with a plethora of designs and cycle them rapidly to keep one step ahead of the Japanese luxury brands who come right on their heels, copy their designs and slap their badges on.
Mercedes haven’t focused so much on quality as freshness. And it has worked – I can’t drive a block without seeing a Mercedes…something I don’t think I could say 20 years ago.
