Back on the parts price issue...A guy I work with drives older mercedes. He generally pays as much for a just the part (does work himself) as I would pay for parts and labor combined.[/QB][/QUOTE]
You pay for the name. I drove old (mid-late 70's) Caddy's the first 5 years of having my license and found that caddy parts just plain cost more. i would wager the same can be said for lincoln, mercedes, bmw, any "premium" brand, import or domestic.
