Lexus: repair costs on lexus vs. mercedes

I've owned 3 Audis, 6 Lexi and 7 Mercedes. There is NO QUESTION AT ALL that
the Lexus quality/reliability is far superior to the German makes. Period.
I'll never go back.

I had a '98 Audi A4 for 5 years and 49,000 miles. Can't imagine a car
needing more repairs. Add that to the attitude from Keyes Audi and the
pricks at Audi who said it's out of warranty so you can't sue us. It's your
problem. Go screw yourself.

26 months in an IS300 Sportcross with only a weak battery replaced under
warranty at the 2 year screwing.

Loved the Audi but I'll suffer with a car that runs thank you.

His S8 experience is miniscule compared to his M-B experience.

Yes, but my wife gets the Lexus. How has your experience been as between
the Audi and Mercedes lines?

I'm hoping my 2002 S8 Audi will be more reliable than my 1999 S420 was
(electronics, not mechanical, the small V 8 was great).

That's true. I won't know for quite a while since the S8 only has 22,000
miles on it. I do have an extended warranty, just in case, but that
doesn't answer the question of reliability. If this Audi isn't reliable,
it will be the last German vehicle that I own.

I will say that my Porsche 911s of the 70s and 80s were bulletproof, and I
still hold this bias that high end German vehicles "should" be excellent.
The Mercedes was a disappointment (mild) in that regard.

As you say, I don't know enough yet to have an opinion on the Audi. I love
the car, and I hope it will be reliable.
