Is a Mercedes that much more expensive to maintain than the average car?

13Looking at a used C class. It's clean and priced well (considering the market) but I'm worried I'll have buyers remorse the first time I have to get it serviced. It's purty. My eyes say yes, my pocketbook says no. The purchase price isn't the issue, it's the cost of maintaining it. Will I regret the maintenance over say a Toyota?

I’d bet Mercedes isn’t much better.

If you’re concerned about it before buying, then yes.

If you want more information, call some independent shops and get prices for routine maintenance. Look on-line in Forums to see what typically goes wrong with them. Ask questions, but the answer is "yes," especially compared to a Toyota.

This one is obvious.
You know what you should do.

on 1/24/23 at 7:54 am to SpotCheckBillyI called my mechanic before making a jump from Toyota to Lexus and he told me Lexus would cost just slightly more. Then he said- but it will be just like your Toyota - I will never see it. (I kept his family fed with a couple chevrolets though)
Based on what family members pay for Audi, BMW, and Mercedes I will stick with Toyota/Lexus.

on 1/24/23 at 7:57 am to geauxdroddzHad one years ago but got rid of it because of maintenance costs. $400 for front brakes . That was 20 years ago. But was fun to drive.

on 1/24/23 at 7:58 am to AdajaxIf you are capable of unscrewing a bolt, BMW and Mercedes are the easiest two vehicles to change oil in yourself. The cost of the oil and filter is identical to any other vehicle. If you break parts, they will be more expensive. My son has my wife’s old Mercedes E Class. 200k miles and has only had oil changes. It was her 3rd Mercedes, all of which were problem free. She currently drives a 5 series BMW, but will probably go back to Mercedes.
