[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should not be complaining about the Maint cost when you decided to purchase a brand new MB.  Why the hell did you not purchase a Toyota?  I bet you are complaining about the premium gas also.  Not feeling sorry you.  BTW, I have four European cars - I always go the dealer because they at least use OEM parts.  When spending do much $$ on the initial purchase price not a good idea to go cheap on the service or Maint parts.  [/quote]

I am at an age and stage in life where I don’t drive Toyotas.  Thanks though.  My first car out of college was a new Toyota and I drove it til the engine locked; the car before this one was a Lexus, the only other one I’ve owned was a Honda Accord which was driven til it wouldn’t drive.  The Lexus had 199k miles and had seen it’s life.  Was great to me.  I am allowed to be smart about where I shop for service.  I was smart about the purchase of my Benz.  I’m at a stage in my life where I’ve worked hard and I will drive the luxury car I want to drive.  I put $20k down on it (because I could) so I bet my car note is less than a Toyota.  My partners uninspiring yet very practical 2017 Toyota RAV4 costs more per month than my vehicle.  And since you’re so nosey- my 2021 was bought used.  Had 322 miles and a previous owner.  So, it wasn’t new, nor did I pay new car prices during Covid last spring.  No one is complaining here but you PP. [/quote]

You seem to becoming less wiser with age.  Most people I know purchase high end cars when they are younger and then learn via the aging process to settle on more fundamental, reliable, no fuss vehicles such as Toyota or Hondas.  [/quote]

I literally know no one like this.  In the old days, you traded up makes as you grew older and more successful - my grandparents went from Chevy to Buick and Ford to Lincoln, respectively.  My father (70+) just went up to Cadillac for the first time.  At work, senior guys recently went from Jeep Grand Cherokee to Range Rover, Acura to BMW to MB-AMG, or 5 series to 7 series.  Young guy just went Jeep to Lincoln.  I can't recall a single person in my life who went from driving a luxury vehicle back to a non-luxury one unless the luxury one had been a hand-me-down to start with.

The ones driving Hondas, Toyotas and Subarus have always driven them and treat it like some weird badge of honor to be the guy making 7 figures driving a 10-year-old Accord.[/quote]
