well i bought the benz in Feb this year havent had any issues, but i know when it comes for new brakes tires etc.. it will be $$$$$.. i have a 6 year warranty on the benz..
thank for your input nixon.

My main concern here is lowering my monthly payment but having a reliable car for the next 5 or so years.. i take excellent care of any car i have owned.

Are you able to help me better understand the reasoning to go with the GXP
