[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you want to?

FWIW, I could easily afford a Range Rover (DH is biglaw equity partner). I drive a Sienna, which is a far more practical choice. I prefer to invest my money rather than engage in ostentatious consumption. A car is a depreciating asset.

But it's a depreciating asset that many can easily afford.

I paid cash for a brand new Benz. And I did so because I wanted the peace of mind of knowing that the car would last just about forever with little to no problems. And that's exactly what I got. A darned good quality car.[/quote]

Is this your first car?  Because you sound like you know absolutely nothing about them. Benz's are not known to last forever, or anywhere near it. If you want reliability then there are much better brands out there. Don't lie to yourself about the reason you paid cash for that benz. High-end does not equate to reliable when it comes to cars, Cars 101.[/quote]

This is correct, though rather harshly put. I am happy that buying a Mercedes worked out for that PP. I was not so lucky. I traded on my Mercedes when it need its third new transmission. It had only 50,000 miles on it at the time. Worst car I have ever owned.[/quote]

You've gotta be kidding me! You're also the only person I know who's had such bad luck with a Benz. Of course, I'm comparing you-an anonymous poster--to people I know in real life.

3 TRANSMISSIONS with only 50 k miles?????? How old was this thing? Where did you buy it? Sorry you had such horrible luck, but I've been having a great time~

Did you not get the preventative Services A & B? If you didn't keep up with the maintenance, that would make sense. The key is to do so that it doesn't get to the point of needing repairs-not waiting on it to need repairs.

Again, sorry about your bad experience. That's awful![/quote]
