Mike -
I agree with you about almost any Mercedes built before about 1997. After
that, build quality becomes abysmal. Now, when did they buy out
Chrysler...? ;-)

I vote for buying the 10 year old Mercedes with lowish miles, like 100k,
and driving it another 100 k miles. That is a lot cheaper than going the
new or near new route.
