Let us know when you have 100K miles on the odometer.

Needless to say: rigorous maintenance will help you achieve that goal.

No way, I'd hate a $100 to $120 oil change, and they're mostly gas guzzlers. To me, they're just for image!

Wow, 14 MPG in the city and 20-22 MPG on the highway. My Suburban does better in town than that, and gets 20 MPG on the highway.

For once though I am going to be gracious to the kid. Nice job! Enjoy your car.

When I first drove home in my New Mercedes, Mattias . . . I felt the exact same way!

After two plus years of Mega German Grief and Harassment . . . I SWORE NEVER AGAIN. I sure hope your perfect love relationship lasts longer than mine did.

Good Luck

Can't you find a better way to waste your money?

Ummmmmmm.......

So you were on the Los Angeles Forum complaining about how expensive it is to purchase a home here and then you go out and you buy a S-class? What a complete waste of money, especially for someone who is so young. Have fun though. If you do end up moving to So Cal, you can live in a 250 square foot apartment in Compton and then have your S-class which is double your rent. At least people will think you are cool at the Compton supermarket parking lot, if you don't get shot driving there.

S Class in a poor neighborhood? - Must be a drug dealer!

Yeah, "German Engineering" - lots of VW electrical problems, BMW breakdowns and how expensive they are.
