I agree, no to Mercedes. Over engineered, hard to maintain, very costly, and they are prone to rust.

A BMW is 'fun' to drive, but stay away from the V8 engines as they are maintenance nightmares waiting to break.

The newer (2002-2004) Volvos have computer problems. If you have the computers repaired, they don't fail again. But if you have the dealer replace them with new units, those will fail in 5-10 years and that is an expensive item.
