Knowing that I never wanted to own another car after purchasing a new one. I owned the Japanese variety, basic and luxury and to replace the parts at a dealer was costly. I know some people have a luxury of having a good mechanic that does quality work for a reasonable price. Living in Brooklyn, that requires a lot of time and patience. I take my car to the dealer, I pay the premium, I know what I am getting and if anything goes wrong, I bring it right back. I don’t like hassles.
I leased an SClass because I always liked the air ride suspension and I like to take road trips. All honesty, those and bentleys ride like land yachts on the highway.
