I don't think this applies to the lower end of the spectrum, as people have said, there are more expensive cars than Mercs. But if you've bought any car and struggle with the running costs then it's not the car for you. Using Merc as an example, I think I would be less tolerant of problems with the car because MB price, and market themselves on quality.
You don't need to be rich to buy a Merc. Banks are throwing money at people like confetti. Because these are aspirational cars, people take the finance. My mate has 41 grand on credit cards!!!
