Two years?
So you get raped from buying at an MB dealer used lot.
Then get raped from servicing the thing religiously, no doubt at a dealer.
And find out that what is common to give dramas on these Euros (diesel particulate filters - $$$, glow plugs, and gaskets etc) aren't covered. Real piece of mind.
That's not taking into account the poor bastards who end up owning them 5 years down the track. Mechanical insurance?... who can be f. with that on a 5-10 y/o car just to say you have a German Camry.
There is a reason why the value of these things drop like a rock when they get out of warranty.
