Avoiding Expensive Mistakes Buying a Used Mercedes Benz

The best way to save money is to buy the right car in the first place

Initial cost should not be your biggest concern. Remember, there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes. Don't fall into the myth that these old Mercedes (particularly diesels) will go "forever"! The tales of woe that we heard over the years could fill a small book. The one we hear the most goes something like this: "If I would have only known that I could have saved thousands of dollars!" Knowledge becomes your best defense against getting "hosed" when it comes to buying and maintaining an older Mercedes Benz.
