Shopping for a Mercedes-Benz? Good for you, but don't buy anything untill watching this video. In this new series I hightlight common or ridiculously expensive repairs on certain modes. I go over how to tell if your car, or a future used car exhibits behaviors consistant with the issue, I talk about what to do about it, and how much it could cost. I include a lot of material here in the description box on manufactures bulletins, Recalls and potential extended warranties. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe.
Balance Shaft Bulletin from Mercedes

Extended warranty coverage

If your engine serial number is higher than that on the bulletin, you are safe and your balance shaft or gear (V8) is the updated part.

    My 2008 c300 needs a torque converter, they want $8000 to repair it, car is worth $8000 in good condition, only has 98k miles on it. The service rep at MB said run it until it completely fails and sell it for parts.

    I feel that the best Mercedes made were the 2000 to 2002 W112 V6 in the M210 chassis with 5 spd AT. Can anyone tell me if I'm write or wrong?

    I think I need to make a comment about what you said about the "repair cost being greater than the what the car is worth. This is a pretty common mantra most often about Mercedes cars and I want to make a couple of observations. Certainly there are times when fixing something is simply not worth the cost and effort. But rarely does that exceed what the car is worth all things being equal. It all depends on how the words "value" and "worth" are defined. If the car is perfectly satisfactory and suitable for the owner's needs, then it is probably always worth fixing as opposed to replacing the car, assuming the replacement is with one of EXACTLY the same specifications and quality, assuming that the subject car doesn't have a dozen other serious problems that need to be addressed soon also. Whether the car will be worth fixing as opposed to the repair being more than the car's value will depend on how much it will cost to replace that car, including ALL costs in addition to purchase price, excise taxes, interest on the loan (or loss of interest if cash already held is used) and increased insurance cost. This is especially so if the car needing repair is subject to a loan already. There is significant difference between what Kelly Blue Book (for example) says a car is WORTH, and what VALUE it has to the owner of the vehicle when it is running and on dependably on the road. (This is actually a pitch for aggressive maintenance, of course.)
