Is your car going to be a weekend toy or a daily driver? The best thing you can do is find a good independent garage in the Columbus area that works on Mercedes and other German brands. The good news is that these cars are pretty solid with many here well over 100,000 miles of pretty much regular maintenance being the only service required. Lets be honest all cars are expensive to repair in 2016 and there is a premium involved with the German brands. If you run into a problem come here first, you will be glad you did. Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride, if a problem pops up take care of it and keep on driven. With just 44,000 miles you could just as easily go 50 or 60 thousand trouble free miles.

I'm with James in hoping that you can join us this summer when we get together.
