Costs of owning a Mercedes C300?

I'm 16 and were going to buy a car for me to use. Anyway we saw a C300 2013 with about 25K miles for $26K in cost. I like Mercedes and would be thrilled to own it and at $26K on a newer vehicle like that it is cheaper than some Nissans, Honda, and Kia's. However what is the typical fill up cost? What is a typical service check and are Benz reliable as they seem? My parents have a 2014 BMW 750Li which has pricy repairs and a Range Rover HSE which is constantly in the shop. What is auto insurance typically for someone like me driving a Benz like that? Thanks and if there are any vehicles you recommend under $30K please feel free to let me know!

You should get a $5000 car till you learn to drive, and in a couple of years get a newer one.
new drivers get in at least one wreck a year.

Every 10000 miles, you need an A service. Every other A service is a B service. It will cost around 300 dollars and 600 dollars respectively.

Brake job is around 1000 dollars total.

Filling it up will cost you around 60 to 70 dollars per tank full.

My C250/2013 has been problem free.

Apparently, spending $26K for a first vehicle for you is an acceptable transaction in your family. Then go for it. Personally, I would pick something little more conservative. A car like this can get you in a trouble really fast before you realize it.

I'm a 16 year old that recently got a KIA optima VERY NICE CAR. I recommend it. I also recommend the mazda 3 or mazda 6 thr gas mileage on those cars are insane and very afforable.

It can be just whatever you choose. You can even have it completely free if you wish.

  • Is owning an apple product a status symbol? Some of the people I've talked to compare iphones, macs, ipads etc as a mercedes benz or lexus. They described android or PCs etc as a honda or toyota They said driving a luxury car is a status symbol. The cars are nice yet driving a honda or toyota does the same stuff but without breaking the bank. What do you think?

  • Should I trade my 2013 Honda Civic EX with a 2011 Mercedes C300? I have a 2013 Honda Civic Ex with only 6000 KM on it. I bought it brand new for around $24000. but now I regret not following my heart and not buying the Mercedes C300. Would you trade in your new 2013 Honda with a used 2010/2011 Mercedes C300 with around 50,000 KM on it? Why and why not?
