No offense, but euro cars are no better from a quality standpoint. Yes the fit and finish might be better, but Mercedes and BMW are plagued with electrical and mechanical issues. I have owned several AMG products and between the airmatic and ABC suspension systems, coil packs, motor mounts and countless sensors resulting in thousands in dollars worth of repairs I am more than happy to accept a few paint imperfections. Don't forget all the A and B service intervals at your local Benz dealer to basically change the oil and perform "visual inspections" for a poke you in the rear $1000 bill and depreciation that is absolutely staggering after 4-years of ownership. Other than tires, brake pads and some fluid changes you are good to go for 100K miles. Add up all the costs and the only reason anyone would purchase the euro cars is for the status of the make not the actual value or content of the vehicle.
