[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Design decisions also impact repair costs.  Toyota and Honda are known to design their cars with repairability in mind.  So wear items are easy to access and replace and even major systems had thought put into how they would be fixed.  Some manufacturers, Porsche maybe most notoriously, don't give a shit about repair costs and design their cars to purely optimize for performance [/quote]

German cars are built with unions in mind. They don't want you repairing your own car. Even changing the oil yourself on a German car (Audi, VW, Mercedes) needs special tools and is a process. [/quote]

I've been changing my own oil on the various Mercedes we've owned for the past couple of decades. I am not sure what special tool you are referring to. Have I been doing it all wrong? [/quote]

It's sad that you drive Benz and change your own oil. Neighbors look down on you?[/quote]

Not answering the question I see. I don't really give a damn what the neighbors think about me working on my cars. I enjoy working with my hands and have fond memories of sitting next to my dad while he rebuilds carburetors. [/quote]

sorry, i was a dp. [/quote]
