Oh yes, if you have been driving a Land Rover you have been dealing with far more repair bills than you’ll probably ever see from any Mercedes. As with all imported cars parts are more expensive and labor might be higher, too. But the Benz will certainly be a bargain over what you have been driving. As for Diamler-Benz buying Chrysler in 1998, that bad marriage lasted until the summer of last year when Chrysler was sold to a private equity group.

Mercedes is, and always was, Daimler. There has never been a manufacturer called "Mercedes", that’s just a brand, just as "Chevrolet" is a brand manufactured by GM. The brief romance between Daimler Benz and Chysler has no effect on repair cost. If you own a Land Rover, you may be among the few who find Mercedes parts and service to be a bargain. However, the days when Mercedes cars were bulletproof are long gone. If you want low repair costs, try a Toyota.

If you’re accustomed to Land Rover prices for parts and servicing, Benz will seem like a bargain in comparison.

DaimlerChrysler no longer exists. That was the company that came into being after the merger of Mercedes Benz and Chrysler. That merger ( formed in 1998 ) dissolved last year when Mercedes sold majority of its share to Cerberus Capital ( although Mercedes still holds a 19.9% share of Chrysler ).

Mercedes doesn’t own Chrysler anymore. They sold it last fall. They have a small stake in it but very little as a group from Canada bought it……ujn

I do think that buying a Mayback was a bit much, but if he really wants his son to have the best, so be it. He’s not spending anymore then many people on that "Sweet 16" show…in fact, I’ve seen episodes where the parent/s are lavishing the kids with goodies & they are actually complaining & disrespectful to their parents…like THEY make money!! Almost every multi-millionaire shows off…..I’m willing to bet that his college education is covered.

I think its pretty dumb, and confirmation that society has truly become dwarfed by a materialistic shadow of its former self; with its secularist infatuations and disgusting glorification of wealth.

It’s his money, he can do what he wants with it..but yeah I think he’s showing off.
The car is going to get wrecked anyway sooner or later. If I were rich enough to do that I wouldn’t, I’d just buy my son a freakin’ Honda and let him learn to appreciate money.
