Don't listen to people who say that a Toyota is more reliable. Maybe it is, but it's not a Mercedes. I've been driving Mercedes cars for 25 years and never had real problems with them. Yes, you need to take care of them, do all scheduled maintenance, but they are great cars. The best! |||Buy an American made car.|||he's 17 why does he need a car like that|||mercedes are okay but I would look into lexus or bmw they are much more reliable and tend to have better warranties and hold better value|||If you have the money go for it. Personality I would buy like an older Merc for someone 17... or an older BMW, inbetween 1997-2005, but do what you want.
