Mercedes Benz produces expensive vehicles but they aren’t the most expensive vehicles on the road. For example, the Mercedes S Class can be accessorized in the united states to where these vehicles cost well over $100,000 making them very expensive while a Mercedes C Class can be bought as a base model for around $35,000. When you compare Mercedes models to other luxury vehicles in its class normally the Benz models are at the top of the price list but if you compared a Mercedes S Class to a Bentley Continental Flying Spur the Mercedes will costs significantly less unless you are talking about the V12 models. In other words Mercedes automobiles are expensive but there are more expensive cars on the road.

In the US it is positioned or marketed as a very upscale car. They are very good cars, no doubt. However in Europe they are not marketed like in North America. You can certainly buy them in Europe very well optioned, but on the other hand you can also buy them very plain, they are very popular as taxicabs for example.

Mercedes Benz produces some of the most expensive mass produced vehicles in the world but there are quite a few low-production/hand-built vehicles in manufactured around the world that are far pricier than any Mercedes product.

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is a whopping $500,000, making it one of the most expensive cars on this earth. But the most expensive car right now is the Bugatti Veyron Supersports at $2,400,000. The super rich live well…

I don’t think so.. Have you heard of Bugatti Veyron Super Sports? It’s the most expensive!!!!

The brake and marker lamps are 2 different bulbs.Check all the bulbs first and if they’re okay, check the bulb sockets.On some occasions, it’s the tail lamp board that burns out and the whole unit has to be replaced.

Common Sense is correct.The phones installed in ’98 were analog signal only.They were replaced by digital cellular signals years ago.
That phone is obsolete and the technology is too old to be updated to a Bluetooth system.

LOL…. hey, I remember those!

Sorry, cell phone technology is several generations ahead of that one.

1) If locked, unlock door with either the remote or with the back-up key blade.If already unlocked, ignore this step
2) Pull door handle open.

Golly gee, that was hard…

im going to ignore the weight and the price you listed because they are wrong. lets focus again on the car itself. Yes i like Audis and in fact 2.5 years ago i choose to buy the new S4 (at that time it was new) not because Mercedes or BMW suck no, it was a personal choice. The A8 is a good car but i sorta dont like the head lamps. the S class looks more luxurious, yes the 7 series handle better than both but lets face it we buy these cars for comfort not for superior handling, the A8 has a strange Gear leaver, if you push it forward too much you will go to park, and if you pull it too much u may go to Drive or Sport instead of Reverse.IF im going to buy an A8 i would buy a 2nd hand A8 but a brand new one? NO since it loses its value faster than the Merc and the 7 series.

" When you spend $80,000 less than a Benz you will say you got a fine deal".

So the type of person that is shopping for an A8 would be the same type of person that would shop for a Mercedes S-Class (and let’s throw in the BMW 7-series just for fun).
According to your post, the Audi A8 will be $80K LESS than the comparable Benz or Bimmer…I don’t think so.

A misinformed post:

The A8 does not weight 6,000 lbs.It’s closer to 4400 lbs.Maybe with your wife aboard, the weight is 6,000 lbs.

And it’s not $80k less than a comparable S-class.

They’re great cars, to be sure.But morons like you impart a negative impression.

Generally speaking, much of a vehicle’s future reliability depends on how it was driven and maintained in the past.Ask to see the service records for the car to make sure they are up to date and have the vehicle inspected by a dealer or other trusted shop that is familiar with Benz prior to finalizing the deal.

Well that is near the end of a car’s life statistically, so while it might run okay now I wouldn’t pay very much for it.

60k on a benz is too high,Crap will break down and cost you your bank account.

Which Mercedes and too high for what? 297,000 wouldn’t be too much if the price is right.
