My wife has a 2002 Mercedes vehicle. It has 82000 miles on it now but fewer than 65000 miles when it needed $5,000 worth of work to replace a stretched timing belt. Something that should never be a problem but especially on a low mileage vehicle that was driven gently. Her driver side seat heater also started to short, a known issue, never recalled. I consider Mercedes to be overpriced garbage.
