![]() ![]() The later 4cyl turbos and the 642 diesels are huge piles of garbage. The later turbo 6's and 8's have, well, turbo problems, and are cooling system nightmares, with the turbo cooling lines. ![]() The 203, 204, and 205's weren't terrible (C-Class)Īny of the modern non-turbo engines seam to be doing really well. The 210's and 211s (Eclass) were decent except for the the silly air-powered everything, specifically the door locks, trunk, etc. No huge patern failures that I see, but I'm not a huge MB fan. They're just starting to trickle in out of warranty. My 2017 Lexus GX 460 with 85,000 miles, I get serviced at my local Toyota dealer and, all things considered, has been down right cheap to maintain. People will tell you "Don't own a German luxury brand out of warranty". I sold it when I sensed the time bomb was ticking. I had a used 2011 E350 Cabriolet that did not cost me a ton of money in the 3 years I owned it, but cost my warranty provider a few grand. That outlay should cover me (except oil changes and tire rotations) for a few more years until I trade it. I spent about $4,000 on brakes, spark plugs and scheduled services last year. I own a 2014 M元50 4matic, now with about 75,000 miles, that has been very reliable but scheduled maintanence has been pricey. That said, every Mercedes model and year group is more expensive (often extremely) to maintain than most non-German luxury vehicles. Like every manufacturer, some Mercedes models (and year groups) have proven more reliable than others. ![]()
