So glad I bought the RDX instead of BMW or Mercedes
Today at an expensive servicing (B123) which runs over $500 Cad but I'm doing B13 because changed the engine and cabin filters myself so it is $396 at Honda (cheaper price than Acura for servicing but call around it varies), I realized I'm so happy I don't drive a BMW X3, or Mercedes GLC, etc because the servicing equivalent would probably be aroubd $1200. I would feel sick in the stomach right now if I had to pay $1000+ for a servicing appointment. Whooohooo!!!!!

Uhhh...okay
|
but rockyboy, Mercedes Benz is has more prestige than your lowly elite acura

Imagine how you'd feel if you were to A) covered under the service warranty, B) find out those services aren't yet due on a Mercedes or BMW, or C) find out the cost of those services are about the same cost regardless of brand.

Only a tool would pay for doing that service at an Acura dealer. Lol, what a waste of $396, OP.

Whether you pay for services directly, through a warranty, or through the increased cost of the vehicle, in the end servicing for a German luxury vehicle far surpasses an Acura by several times. They have 10 year cost of ownership studies on this. Toyota comes out the lowest, and Honda and Acura are among the lowest :D

In the real world things may well be different; I've had two BMWs and two Honda products; the BMWs were F-A-R cheaper to maintain. Just my $0.02.

Audis and Porsches are more reliable than Hondas, Acuras. |

justnspace, I appreciate your avatar upgrade. Those some sexy pincers.
Rockyboy, I dont understand why you get such a hard time from people here. Average ongoing maintenance/repair costs for Acura is way less than BMW/Mercedes...anyone who thinks the opposite is delusional. |
So the service breakdown looks like this (stolen from another forum):
B: Replace engine oil and oil filter Inspect front and rear brakes Check parking brake adjustment Inspect these items: Tie rod ends, steering gear box, and boots Suspension components Driveshaft boots Brake hoses and lines (including ABS) All fluid levels and condition of fluids Exhaust system Fuel lines and connections 1: Rotate Tires 2:Replace air cleaner element Replace dust and pollen filter Inspect drive belt If you drive in dusty conditions, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and from diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). 3:Replace transmission and transfer fluid |

Maybe in the short term but over 5-10+ years, Honda and Acuras will outlast Audis and Porsches, not to mention maintenance is a lot less.

Rockyboy is saying after 10 years, the Audi or Porsche will become money pits. I'm saying "who the fuck keeps cars 10 years any more?"
yes, some do. Very few, though. The majority of vehicle buyers switch up every 5-6 years these days. I remember reading a nice article about it, not too long ago. |

Im still confused why anyone would pay for this. There's nothing in there that can't be done on your own time... and save $300 wile you're at it. But hey, if your prerogative is to make dealership owners richer, so be it. |

Yeah, they may not realize the design of the vehicle, especially modern Mercedes, they are designed and engineered to not last long.

My vehicle is still under warranty so limiting the DIY stuff to basic things like air filter changes. Once the warranty expires, will definitely do as much as I can at home.

Right. And Acuras are god's gift to the automotive world.

Rockyboy just likes to create stupid threads so that he can listen to himself talk. As a result, we treat his stupid threads with the utmost stupidity. |
The hot receptionist keeps walking back and forth in front of me in the waiting area, wonder if she likes me. Also wonder if her ultra short skirt violates company dress code policies...
|
You should buy her a knee length skirt and tell her to change immediately. Also buy her a chastity belt while you're at it.
|
Show her your dick print in the haggars..
|
All she will see is the wet jizz stain on the front.

You should leave your Haggar zipper undone, and let your cock hang out the front. Ask her if she wants some moisturizer and then point at your cock and tell her to rub it until some cums out.

Lmao

When someone asks for "evidence", you don't post "one example". Thousands of these are sold in a year. You need to prove that Mercs are, across the board, designed to fail. There's no evidence to suggest that.
