Worst cars to work on!!!

Okay lets see what every1 thinks. The worst car make to work on in my opinion is without a doubt Mercedes-Benz. It reminds me of a ramming two engines at 100mph and forming one. Yup.

Iono, my friend's a Mercedes mechanic. Always does just fine. Depends upon the year I guess. My mother's '85 500SEL has tons of room to work, but I've never laid hands on it myself.

i work on my friends 21 year old 190E benz. his head gasket is warped and throwing up oil for mmmm the last 1 1/2 years. we can really take it off cause we need speical tools to take off the timing chain which runs up and through the Head. about six months ago we had to take off exhaust and ever bolt was rusted up and we had to cut them off. I think we used about half a bottle of liquid wrench on each bolt and they still didnt come off. Then we had to change his centerlink. welll thats all i can remeber right now.
