I want a Mercedes I can afford but which is safe, especially for long-distance highway driving. Are repairs costly? I am looking this week at a
2006 Mercedes C class. Thanks

Mercedes parts and maintainance are rather reasonable. You need to look at the vehicle to understand if it is in good condition and it is best to have a mechanic to check through and also certification from a licensed body.
