Having owned an MB and having some friends who own them I can tell you that they are quite high in maintenance costs. Bummers are even worse.
In my experience Volvos, Audis and Saabs are as bad. I think ownership of these cars is too much pure poserism, like most Ducati and too many HD owners. My 200,000 mile Subaru has cost far far less in maintenance over 11 years than my MB did over three. Probably only 1/3 as much. And it can actually go a up a fairly steep snowpacked road.
