Redpill me why I shouldn't buy this car, I currently have my sights set on a 2011 E-class with 115k miles. I know the owner and it has been babied and dealer maintained, he's asking 12 k.

>2011
>115k

how do people manage this?

>First thing that breaks will cost you 2k

And it will snowball from there.

It belongs to an old guy who uses it to drive around town and check on his business

I heard that gen of E-Class had the best reliability. Even the AMGs were said to be very if not okay in reliability.

I'm used to American trucks, so this will be a big change for me, what do I look out for?

Have a backup. Not that you would ever put aftermarket garbage on a Mercedes, but if you do, most autoparts stores don't have anything more than oil filter, oil, brakes, and batteries for it.

>suspension
wait 3-4 days special order
>sensors/relays
wait 3-4 days
>struts/shocks
wait 3-4 days
>a fucking BELT
wait 3-4 days
>brakes that isn't economy garbage
wait 3-4 days

If you didn't sell it already, keep that truck as a backup. Some of those European vehicles do have good reliability but there just isn't a good supply of parts to make maintaining it worth it sometimes.

I don't know man. I hope someone answers you.

What is this "wait" you are talking about?
Is it like a waiting period for the parts to get delivered to you?

>t. Man who has never owned a Mercedes
