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.

Remind me again - how much is a 5 year old G6E or G6ET worth in relation to its RRP ? Is FORD somehow immune to depreciation ??
Not all the C class merc sales are diesel - plenty of petrol out there.
As for getting raped at an MB dealer - much lols - when was the last time you dealt with a Ford Dealer for warranty or service. In fact - much of the negative Falcon sentiment comes from the after sales service that Fraud provide. As for a German Camry - have you sat in or driven in a C Class ? They arent a bad place to sit in as a comparison to an up spec Falc or Commodore.
