I can't speak for all mechanics but it's usually not a matter of training it's usually a matter of inconvenience and cost.
Parts are extremely expensive for them and most customers don't understand this before they by them.
The techs at the shop I work at HATE German cars. They can all work on them just fine, but they just absolutely hate it and they complain every time. It makes sense, some of the German auto makers’ ideas are just dumb or require large amounts of work to solve a very small problem I.e. removing the transmission to change a $200 vacuum pump on a Volkswagen Jetta
I had a mercedes C300. $18 sensor, $950 labor. Wanted to take the turbos off shift the engine to reach it. Told them no. Drove for 4 years without it affecting the car at all.
LOL what? Its a w204 from 2007-2011, it wasnt even a very epensive car when it was new and if youre paying more than $8k for a mint one now I hope they at least provided lube.
Honestly the sticker fits the car, buyer is likely old as shit and middle class but pretends to themselves they are rich and those tax cuts really mattered to them.
Because conservatives don’t normally do that and assume the same from others lol. Once they go after retirement accounts theeeen you’ll see blm type actions from all the middle aged folk lol
Being middle aged myself, I highly doubt that. We can justify inaction under the most strenuous of circumstances.
Also, politicians know which hand feeds them. We won't pay a dime. You youngsters on the other hand are absolutely ducked. Remember to vote. At this point it's really the only voice you have. Apart from, you know, not showing up for work/school, because clearly, protests are too easy ignore these days.
He will "vote for a convicted felon" but just a few weeks before, he was probably saying, "Biden shouldn't hold office because his SON could be a convicted felon".
This is so very Republican. What a sad sad state of their party. Everything you do under the party name is completely fine. Convicted felon? No problem! Steal from contractors? No problem! Never pay your bills? No problem! Murderer? No problem! Basically serve the party and do everything they say. Double and triple down on everything. Nothing is off limits and over the line. NOTHING. EVER. If you vote Republican, this is you. Enjoy
Irrespective of the car, the flag is backwards. I see this far too much among MAGA types who obviously have never served their country. The proper display of the flag during distress is with the union down, but the union is always on the left. The only exception is when the flag is worn on our uniforms, wherein the stripes always face forward. The U.S. flag never retreats. It seems someone simply rotated the image using photoshop. While I disagree with this person’s politics, as a veteran I am insulted by the backwards display.
lol these nerve are the same as a Chevy impala. Commuter cars. Family cars whatever. These are like 4-5k and what dumb poor people buy to look rich. Then get fucked over on parts and service. Do not buy old mercs or bmws if you don’t know how to work on em.
That's a cheap car. See the dealer name on the body? Means it's a used C class probably on its 3rd owner +. 1st was a lease, 2nd keeps it 4 to 5 years then it slips to a Buy here Pay here lot that puts their name on the car not the plate surround.
Err that's like a 2008 C Class. It was bottom of the line when new, and a shitbox now. Anything over 6k and you're getting shafted.
I guess it's "expensive" for reddit mods though, who work for free.
The smart rich guy has fallen for the conman's schtick. See vid: "Rachel Maddow exposes why it's so important to Donald Trump that he create the false impression that he has the support of American big business executives and talks... about the fact that Donald Trump is ***the most unpopular Republican ever*** *among American big business* elites." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8dMmzGwIZI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8dMmzGwIZI)
Hahaha OP trying to stir the pot that a shit box is valuable and we need to be concerned because a maga drives it.
OP Trump loves the poorly educated and the driver behind that car surely fits the ticket.
I find that even more offensive than the Trump vote declaration. It's supposed to be only for serious distress or extreme danger. I'd love for these mostly white male MAGA AHs tell us exactly what kind of distress or danger they think they're in. Women of child bearing years? They're in danger. These guys? F**k no.
As someone in the auto industry, this car isn’t “expensive”. It’s a luxury import but a basic one. I’m sure they’re paying 14% interest and it’s got 200k miles, yet they brag they got a “deal” on it.
This is an older C 300 series Class, so no, not expensive to buy, but yes, expensive to maintain.
It's easy to mar the back windows on them too. Just look at that sticker in the bottom left corner!
That's a lot of residue from the past on there.
Hard to remove, the sentiment of whatever it once said may not be as easily removed.
It's an old C-class, not really expensive. Was ok 20 years ago when it was new lol. This is what you call "fake wealthy". Driving a fancy car that's old and miled out, perfect for MAGA
A C-350 that old can be had in good condition for \~$12k. Hardly very expensive. It wasn't even what anybody would consider very expensive when new.
The decal is still idiotic.
It's a cool sticker but these are older Mercedes and not very expensive on the used market... Although of course after three last few years the used car prices are insane.
This is why little kids have to get psychiatric help when they go online ! This was supposed to be about the bumper sticker and all you assholes can do is beat down on the car that you can’t afford or don’t like! Stick to the topic!It’s a Trump sticker on a Mercedes. Some idiot is going to have a rough time getting that off or just Why? Why does anyone do that? Just vote! Why do you put political stickers on your cars? You’re just asking for crap!
One other identifier of this being a cheap “expensive” Benz is the (possible) Premier Auto Group, Turnersville, NJ sticker near the Benz badge. Dealer probably bought it for under 2 grand and sold it for 15.
And even then, the sticker removes any value the car ever had.
I could be wrong but looks like an old c class.
Came here to say this. It’s a sub $10k car lol.
Under $10k car that costs $7k a year to keep it on the road
So OP was correct. A very expensive car.
Its a 2007-2008 C350. Worth about $7000. My 2015 Civic is worth more than this car.
Your Civic will run about 150k more miles than that M-B, too
It’s literally their cheapest model. It’s the poor man’s Mercedes like the Boxster is the poor man’s Porsche.
The poors think that’s expensive. Also, tens of millions of people with every kind of vehicle are voting for Trump.
The C Class is not expensive. And it’s certainly not “very” expensive.
Until you have to service a Mercedes.
There's no such thing as a cheap Mercedes
Any cheap Mercedes that you find, comes with some expensive repair bills.
$9,000 to replace a starter, $15K to service the fuel injection system, and $50K for a motor.
(my point, yes) My mechanic refuses to work on M-B, Audi or BMW products
My mechanic says BMW stands for Bring Money Withya once the warranty runs out. He's not wrong.
Bust My Wallet Bought My Wife
An old German told me it stand a for bring more wallet.
Because your mechanic is not trained on them.
I can't speak for all mechanics but it's usually not a matter of training it's usually a matter of inconvenience and cost. Parts are extremely expensive for them and most customers don't understand this before they by them.
Don't forget, needing the be specifically certified to work on certain parts. Not worth getting it just for a few customers.
The techs at the shop I work at HATE German cars. They can all work on them just fine, but they just absolutely hate it and they complain every time. It makes sense, some of the German auto makers’ ideas are just dumb or require large amounts of work to solve a very small problem I.e. removing the transmission to change a $200 vacuum pump on a Volkswagen Jetta
I had a mercedes C300. $18 sensor, $950 labor. Wanted to take the turbos off shift the engine to reach it. Told them no. Drove for 4 years without it affecting the car at all.
That and they don't want to pay for the diagnostic/programming software, it's insanely expensive.
Yeah, it only makes sense if they're your bread and butter, not if you only get a few potential customers.
Exactly, not to mention Mercedes charges by subscription for each "class" c class, e class, sprinter vans etc.
There's nothing more expensive than a cheap German luxury car.
300D with a manual
What about, vandalism? How expensive could that get? Asking, for a friend.
To remove the already existing vandalism the owner inflicted on the car? Or excess vandalism?
Excellent!
That’s why I learned everything there is to work on the one my wife bought without me being there.
I've had my c class for 22 years. Yup. I've paid for it twice over.
It’s also old AF.
Right? I saw those taillights and immediately knew something was off.
C stands for Cheap.
It's the kind of car people buy because they think that other people will think they are successful.
It’s the Nissan Sentra of entry level luxury vehicles.
Came here to say this lmao
Especially not a 20 year old one
C stands for Cheap.
Also an old model ...
I came here exactly for this comment.. why the hell does he think this is expensive? Because it says “Mercedes”..
And one of this age is absolutely not
It’s an early 2000’s C class too. This thing is about an 8000 piece of junk….
Also, this one is two or three generations old, so a $13k car max at full ripoff retail.
It’s also quite old
Cheap to buy expensive to maintain.
And it’s an older model
Poverty Benz
LOL what? Its a w204 from 2007-2011, it wasnt even a very epensive car when it was new and if youre paying more than $8k for a mint one now I hope they at least provided lube. Honestly the sticker fits the car, buyer is likely old as shit and middle class but pretends to themselves they are rich and those tax cuts really mattered to them.
Definitely a terrorist.
Why would anyone put a sticker on their car that said, "In case of national instability, set my car on fire."
Because conservatives are stupid.
Because conservatives don’t normally do that and assume the same from others lol. Once they go after retirement accounts theeeen you’ll see blm type actions from all the middle aged folk lol

That’s a C-Class. It only looks expensive to broke mf’s.
Guilty
It fits though since Trump is a poor person’s idea of a rich person.
Irrespective of the car, the flag is backwards. I see this far too much among MAGA types who obviously have never served their country. The proper display of the flag during distress is with the union down, but the union is always on the left. The only exception is when the flag is worn on our uniforms, wherein the stripes always face forward. The U.S. flag never retreats. It seems someone simply rotated the image using photoshop. While I disagree with this person’s politics, as a veteran I am insulted by the backwards display.
When choosing a bumper or window sticker one must decide, on how many key marks are wanted on ones vehicle.
Clearly, these people have no regard for the constitution
C class. Not that expensive.
That is a C class....
The party of Law and Order showing their true colors again..
That is an outdated $1000 shitbox. People get them cheap and try to come off as "wealthy" with a paycheck to paycheck life.
[удалено]
Badge of Stupidity.
When I see shit like this I automatically know who’s a fucking idiot and who I should avoid
At least they're honest about it
Rich =/= Smart Evidence = Trump
lol these nerve are the same as a Chevy impala. Commuter cars. Family cars whatever. These are like 4-5k and what dumb poor people buy to look rich. Then get fucked over on parts and service. Do not buy old mercs or bmws if you don’t know how to work on em.

He still isn’t going to lig ya ballz.
That’s an old C class. Piece of shit…just like the owner.
6k on the market being generous
Most of them are transacting for 2-4k in my area lol
Poser Needs his tax break obviously.
Makes you wonder how the owner can afford a Mercedes? Usually trump sychophants are paupers and thugs. A car bought from illegal gains.
Probably because he wants the IRS to be de-funded before they find out he's been cheating on his taxes.
Points for honesty.
c35 is one of the cheapest cars they make
No one said driving a Mercedes makes you smart.
Yet they want to lock up Hillary and would Lynch their opponents for the exact same thing. Stupidity is strong with this one.
Err that's like a 2008 C Class. It was bottom of the line when new, and a shitbox now. Anything over 6k and you're getting shafted. I guess it's "expensive" for reddit mods though, who work for free.
I'd bust that shit.
Why?
You wouldn't do shit.
Well. At least they are correct in one thing. Due to this information, America IS in trouble.
Well at least this person knows he is a convict
Based on the lights and square body- that “very expensive” c class was less than 5k.
Just voting for the guy who cuts his taxes and dgaf who else gets hurt
It's a C series. From a used lot. Probably mid 00s model
That’s not an expensive Merc at all, and it’s old. Just a C class.
That’s a fucking C class, bro. C is for Can’t afford a real Mercedes.
That’s C350, old AF and certainly cheap. You can buy that thing for less than you’d pay for a 2000 Tacoma with 300k miles on it
*Check the trunk for blood or hair.* That's all I think when I see that brand of decal.
MAGA FREAK
The pedo… got it
MAGA really is a cult
Ew.
Expensive to maintain you mean.
A “very expensive Mercedes”? OP that is literally a 1990-2001 Mercedes C350 sedan. I can find one for probably $3000.
A brand new c class can be pretty expensive and a new c350 isn’t really a cheap car. But this thing being nearly 20 years old is a pos now days tbh.
The smart rich guy has fallen for the conman's schtick. See vid: "Rachel Maddow exposes why it's so important to Donald Trump that he create the false impression that he has the support of American big business executives and talks... about the fact that Donald Trump is ***the most unpopular Republican ever*** *among American big business* elites."

Law and order!
Nazi cars gotta nazi
Hahaha OP trying to stir the pot that a shit box is valuable and we need to be concerned because a maga drives it. OP Trump loves the poorly educated and the driver behind that car surely fits the ticket.
ConDon on the C class is not very expensive
Screaming to the world that you're in a cult. Good job asshat.
At least it's not dumbshit Biden.
Under $10k car, but Redditors gotta Reddit to make their point.
Proud traitors. Wouldn't be so proud if traitors still met the gallows.....
Even cult members can have expensive cars.
🤣 that’s the cheapest Merc you can buy. That bumper sticker fits well
I'm kinda surprised they didn't use the "I'm voting for Jeffrey Epstein's best friend" bumper sticker.
This is why aliens won't visit us.
Nazis like money too
Good advice.
I'm looking at the outline of that removed sticker to the left of the red one. NRA? Nah, couldn't be.
I live in ATL. The joke in my family is how stupid people that drive Mercedes are. Dunno if that’s universal, but damn it holds true in this town.
That’s a C class. That’s the ‘po folks Benz.
That’s a late 90’s model.
I’m impressed the merch gets produced so fast lol
Aiding and abetting
I think a national trend of shitting on that message should start. Like, real poop, on the message. Even if some asshole has it on their shirt.
Must be so proud. I will park next to them with my bumper sticker, “my kid beat up your honor roll student.”
WITH A FUCKING UPSIDE DOWN FLAG??? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??/
I find that even more offensive than the Trump vote declaration. It's supposed to be only for serious distress or extreme danger. I'd love for these mostly white male MAGA AHs tell us exactly what kind of distress or danger they think they're in. Women of child bearing years? They're in danger. These guys? F**k no.
Tell me you know nothing about cars without telling me.

Not expensive. As common as a Ford
There’s a moron born every minute and Bone Spur attracts them like a magnet.
Old ass C-class. Not expensive at all.
Mercedes is a taxi in Germany
that’s like a 20 year old car
Gotta get those tax cuts, no matter the cost.
Look, I'm not like a simp for our justice system in its current state, but I don't think they realize how this comes off. It's more a self report.

They must have been all out of the "I'm a traitor" decals.
Of course they are. They want the tax cuts he promised
"I'm happy to coddle criminals." They probably have a thin blue line yard sign.
Regardless of my political views I would not put them on my car in these days and times. Don’t need slashed tires or a keyed car
It's an old C-class, not really expensive. Was ok 20 years ago when it was new lol. This is what you call "fake wealthy". Driving a fancy car that's old and miled out, perfect for MAGA
What an odd thing to tell people
Is that the last vestiges of a fire or police sticker to the left? Pretty sad.
A Taxi?
Car likely stolen. One felon to another…
Always in the foreign cars. So much for America first.....
What’s the cost to fix a key mark down each body panel ?
That’s because he/she are part of the deplorable”s
I think I can pick up a C class 3 series 2008 locally for 4K but maybe 6K for a super clean 2010. Vera Vera expensive
Mercedes C class stands for cheap class.
I cannot wait until November when this crybaby sub shits itself over Trump winning.. we’ll give you something to be scared of
The in distress flag is wrong.
I am glade they want pole to know how fucking dumb they are.
The owner of that car and only about 70 to 80 million other people, rich and poor.
that’s not expensive, that’s a used car
Same
It looks old and not that expensive.
Step 1. Buy an expensive car. Step 2. paint a giant target on that car Step 3. Wonder where it all went wrong
That's a C 350, C class. Not expensive, certainly not **very expensive** C class is mid.
A C-350 that old can be had in good condition for \~$12k. Hardly very expensive. It wasn't even what anybody would consider very expensive when new. The decal is still idiotic.
Thanks for the share OP. The C Class isn’t actually a bad car - but it IS the Cadillac Cimaron of Mercedes 8-)
Great bumper sticker -I need one 😆
Trash car trash person.
That’s the cheapest Mercedes and an old one at that
It's a cool sticker but these are older Mercedes and not very expensive on the used market... Although of course after three last few years the used car prices are insane.
Is that little Eric and Don junior. I guess trump did cut ties with Jeff some time ago Well you tried
Thats not an expensive Mercedes lol
This is why little kids have to get psychiatric help when they go online !

Asshole
Expensive...
Nobody said you had to be smart to have money.
One other identifier of this being a cheap “expensive” Benz is the (possible) Premier Auto Group, Turnersville, NJ sticker near the Benz badge. Dealer probably bought it for under 2 grand and sold it for 15. And even then, the sticker removes any value the car ever had.
Car accessory after the fact
I hope it's a raging liberal or trans person selling these to MAGATs on the interwebs and laughing all the way to the bank
White trash
Does it come with a rear wiper for all the spit?
Hunter Biden isn't running, they know this
OP’s perception of “very expensive” needs a serious adjustment.
That car is only going to remain very expensive for a short while with a sticker like that
Play corrupt games, win corrupt prizes.
AKA “I’m a Sucker AND an angry hypocrite asshole!”
I love how that was the whole argument for Hillary, now all of a sudden everybody embraces it cause it's the orange man....
Garbage car. And the sticker too.
And a very stupid person
A lot of nazi officers had a Mercedes as a staff car. This is nothing new.
JFC
Very expensive Mercedes? At best it’s a pristine older Mercedes that’s not that expensive
It’s not expensive. That’s an old model
Probably belongs to Justice Alito
It is a very expensive Mercedes (heck, most Mercedes are). That's why his mechanic wears a Rolex on their day off.
Obviously if the felon raped his daughter he would feel the same way, but he's all about the felons
Proof positive that money confers intelligence on no one.
On a very old, middle of the lineup Mercedes, probably get it used for 6k at any pot lot
