    If it has a Mercedes badge, don't buy it!

    I know of a guy who bought a shiny new caravan and needed a towing point attached to his Merc. Trouble was that cutting into the electrics automatically disabled the engine and the only garage that could fit the unit was a Mercedes dealer. Price including fitting: £2000 ($4000). Mercedes are for people with bottomless wallets.
