Car advice

[backcracker]

Anyone own a Cadillac CTS or Mercedes S550
Ive narrowed it down to those two looking at buying them used 08 with about 40K miles anyone have any advice between the two leaning towards the caddy but worried because I've got 3 boys who are teenagers worried may be small. Wife drives an SUV so would mostly be my car and driving it alone??

I have a C class Mercedes and one thing about them is you can only put Mercedes parts on them and they can only come from a dealership when repairing... the only place you can save any money is on labor from authorized repairs shops that reset the computer ... dealer service here is $215 an hour but I get my done at a shop that charges $90 BUT they still have to go get the parts from the dealership! so maintenance is very HIGH .... BUT mine has only been in shop twice in over 2 years and once was my fault:facepalm:

good luck :0074

The caddy will be cheaper to maintain. Certain BMW repairs can only be done by a dealer or high end garage that specializes in German imports. If you feel that you just have to get in the S500 I would advise that you finance a good extended warranty into the deal.

Been there done that and it saved me a couple K over the long run

Never owned either of them, but have driven both.

I would get the Caddy.
