[vinrem]

Guys, my sister in Canada is asking me if it's worth it to buy a Mercedes Benz B class 2008 model, told her that it's not worth it lalo na if a used luxury European cars, but what's your take on this? I attached the description. Attachment 35868

If you're after Mercedes Benz level quality, buy E-Class and up ... most models below that will feel subpar ... Also buy used Mercedes if you can DIY or know a trusted independent MB shop outside of dealer ...

I really liked the W204. Great improvement vs the W203 that preceded it. Personally I think it aged better than the E90, though the E90's biggest advantage is that a 320d was sold locally and the W204 C220 CDI is currently still overpriced.

Among the BMW 3-series generations, the E46 looked really good IMO ... Also the F30 ...

Told my sis nga that I sometimes watch sa Scotty Kilmer sa YT and he's always discouraged buying a used European luxury car kasi although cheaper when you buy but if there's a broken part, it very expensive to replace.

She'd probably watch Jeffree Star rather than Scotty ...

Tell your sis to just get a used Toyota Camry for the nephew ...

a friend said, "a visit to the european luxury car shop is always a wallet-draining experience."

this colleague, a known matipid-living-type, once came to work, in a volvo.
"wala akong magawa. office issue. yan daw ang bagay sa posisyon ko. sagot ng kumpanya ang pms".
when he retired, years later, he ditched the car, and drove a toyota.
"why didn't you hold on to your car?"
"mahal pms."

but this is the philippines.
in canada, the scenario may be different.

the MB tsikoter here says something like, "the most expensive MB is the one you bought, cheap".

advise sis, "luxury toyota na lang."

Kaya nga Doc it's a trap, they're selling it at a very low price that buyers sometimes won't think twice, super cheap na MB, pwde na kasi MB, pero once they bought it and the car is starting to fell apart, dun na uumpisa ang pagsisisi.

An 08 FWD Merc. Probably the least desired in their lineup that generation. The age & the miles will mean freshening expenses coming. Rubber parts will go. Leaks will start to happen. Unless your sister is a tinkerer, spare her from the potential service migraine.
