I'll start with this one;

Never buy a Mercedes-Benz.

I was warned off buying a merc by a guy I do work for. He dealt in cars and had a lovely merc for sale. It was imaculate with pale cream leather seats, metallic red flawless paint, sun roof etc. It really looked the business. I asked how much he was selling it for (not with the intention of buying) and he said £8000. I imagined it would be £25000 probably more.
I said whats wrong with it and he said 'nothing now. But if you buy it you will be forever spending on it.' He also said rust is always a problem.
I thought Mercs were supposed to be bombproof.

When I was younger it wasn't unusual to find a Mercedes taxi with 250,000 miles on the clock and still going strong.
