...MOST OTHER CARS? I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse and want to sell it to buy a 2002 - 2004 Mercedes or BMW. I will probably get about $6,500 for my car and the cars I am interested in purchasing range from $9,000 to $14,000. My father keeps telling me that I will not be able to afford repairs on a Mercedes or BMW. Are the repairs/tires/etc. that much more expensive for them? Also, he said most garages like the ones I am use to bringing my Eclipse to for repairs (like muffler/sunroof not opening, etc) will not even try to repair a mercedes or bmw. Who will then?
 
Yes, repairs on BMWs/Mercs are a lot more expensive. A friend of mine had the door bashed in on his BMW and it cost $5,000 to fix.

You will have to take a BMW/Merc to a mechanic who specialises either in prestige or European cars. I drive a Peugeot and get it serviced at the dealer, purely because they have an in-depth knowledge of the car.
