Which car should I buy, a 07 Toyota Camry or a 07 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

Here is the situation: I do not live in the U.S and here cars are more expensive than America. I have an offer to buy a 07 Toyota Camry 2.4L or a 07 Mrcedes-Benz 1.8L (some cars also come smaller here). They are almost the same price, which one should I buy in this situation taking in mind everything (fuel consumption, maintenance, resale value, comfort ...etc.)? And in normal situation which one should I buy then? And why, thank you!

the new 07 camary..just because you know it's reliable and will save you money if you have to fix it up...unlike the mercedes benz....anything that breaks will need to go to the dealer....that would mean you have to be rich to maintain the car well. But at the end, it is up to you if you can afford it....
Reply:for the people saying that the new camrys is just the point a to b car.. have u seen the xle 07 camrys? they are an extreme luxary vehicle..





also, the reason that are probably so close as in price, camry could be fully loaded, and the benz could not have any accessories. Report It

Reply:i have a 97 camry with 280,000 miles on it and still ruuns like a champ.





have yet to replace anything substantial on the car either.





B-E-A-UTIFUL.





but i find it incredibly hard to believe they are the same price. id go with the benz. :-)
Reply:strange question since one car is a high-class luxury car and one is a basic utility type point a to point b car.





hard to imagine they are the same price. the toyota is WAY overpriced or the benz is way UNDER priced.
Reply:Toyota. I own a Mercedes,from the good years the 80s. Since 90,and since Mercedes merged with Chrysler,their quality sucks.I'm Half German,and I'm ashamed at Mercedes.
Reply:go with camry.

Reply:Mercedes.
Reply:I would go for the 07 Benz C Class
Reply:TOYOTA-- get the hybrid.
Reply:TOYOTA!!!! %26lt;jumps in air and kicks feet to side while throwing arm in air%26gt;
Reply:The Toyota. It is a lot more reliable, and has an even better resale. Mercedes has had a lot of quality problems as of late (there are talks of seperating from Chrysler), and are expensive to fix once out of warranty. And while the Mercedes nameplate is nice, people can tell you are driving the cheapest version.





I would get the Toyota because I am pretty sure it would not spend a lot of time on the dealers lift. Short of Mercedes just having a better dealer network in your area, they have almost no advantages over the Toyotas.
Reply:the Mercedes-Benz will make you look yuppie the Toyota Camry is more your every day Joe's car


i would go with Mercedes
