Except my TC cause one of my friends changed his own oil and his motor got messed up so they voided his warranty cause he didnt have proof of changing the oil.
congrats on that, I've driven MB's with 70k miiles and they were making HORRID noises and rattling like a ***** trucka

Yeah we buy them used cause they have horrible resale value so u can get really nice MB for cheap. My dads 82 300cd diesel has almost half a million and it still runs strong and smooth!!! I heard the new ones aren't as great but hey If u got the money to buy a new one u should have the money to maintain it.

The trick to keeping MB's problem free are the $500 - $5000 oil changes every 10k mi. As long as you do everything the tech says is needed for 'regular' maint., everything will be fine.
