Insurance for luxo cars would be through the roof
that's not entirely true, lexus don't operate the way bmw and vw do with their premium parts tax, sure it's a little more than cheaper brands
With very few exceptions Lexus drivetrains are shared with other Toyota models.
but it's pretty fair
Even so. Insurance.
mercedes are surprisingly decent for part prices as well
Mercedes currently ranks just above Fiat lol
In reliability
the danger is if you get a shitty mechanic who bumps his pricing up because he sees a luxury name
I would trust a 90s or 2000s merc
I would not trust anything of theirs past about 2008
Also i actually hear early 2000s focuses are good too.
Its the 6 soeed autos in the newer ones that i take issue with. Manual versions are just fine...tho they have 5spd manuals, which annoy me.
uhh...
the late 90s and early 2000s mercedes were total garbage
their quality control was shot to shit at that point
Well in that case they have only gotten worse.
No they haven't.
they definitely have not
Legit, ranked at the same area as dodge right now
Just above fiat
What are you referring to?
Most notably consumer reports. I will grant you that any reliability listing is questionable tho
Even so, i hear nothing good about modern mercs
Except in performance and comfort
They're above Ford on both JD Power and Consumer Reports' current lists, nowhere near Dodge, Consumer Reports also didn't rank Fiat at all.
Might be from a few months ago then
I'd also like to see a breakdown of mercedes reliability in terms of cars vs suvs
my guess is their suvs are wrecking their reliability
That is a worthy question.
I mean these reports are annual.
And I'm looking at the most recent one.
because the c and e class are both very well rated for reliability
They don't put out annual reports every few months.
The last time i looked at those was when i was looking for a car
Last year
Link what you're actually talking about to make it easier.
Ergo...
That's the current one.
