Samenvatting:

That $3,000 Mercedes S-Class just handed you a $10,000 repair estimate. Welcome to the Billion Dollar Affordability Trap—the deceptive chasm between this car's acquisition price and its $100,000 maintenance schedule.

This book is the only guide that transforms you from a financial victim into an empowered steward.

Stop guessing. This is the finite, predictable curriculum of the "Great Pathologies":

• The Eco-Conscious Catastrophe (the 100% failure-rate wiring)
• The Evaporator Abyss (the $4,300+ dashboard-out A/C job)
• The Pneumatic Heart (the $1,500 pump that kills your soft-close doors)
• The NLA Terror (the parts you can no longer buy).

This book is an investment that pays for itself on page one.

• DON'T BUY until you know why the 1995 is the "Trap Year" and 1996 is the "Gold Medal Year".
• SAVE $1,000+ with the $20 "Cheap Insurance" fix for the 722.6 transmission's pilot bushing that prevents a 100% guaranteed TCM failure.
• STOP GUESSING with your useless OBD2 scanner. Learn why the 38-pin port is the only one that matters.

You are the steward of a Billion Dollar Monument, the last cost-no-object Mercedes. This is the guide to prove you're worthy of it, without the usual headaches or financial ruin.
