I've got to agree with Glenn.
I know a lot of people who will buy a car because of the badge! I'm talking Porsches, Mercs, Audi's and Bimmers and they have all had terrible trouble with them and they have all been new or nearly new.
You've also got to remember that the AMG Merc is £10k more than the RS, and that is a massive amount of money!
