> You haven't seen any recent Mercedes Benz then. Full of electronics
I had to dump an 09 VW GTI (I'm in the US) about four years ago with only 60K miles on it. The ABS computer failed; a $4k repair.
As a side note I traded it for a new 2016 Jetta Sport; which was the worst car I ever had, and the last VW I'll ever buy.
I traded the Jetta for a 2019 Hyundai Kona which I like but you can't drive it with the forward collision system engaged. I had always shut that off from day 1.... except a month ago I didn't and that sucker SLAMMED on the brakes when I was lane merging during a busy time--I was Not being aggressive just assertive. Only by luck no one slammed into the back of me. I can't imagine Anyone trusting their lives to a self-driving car.. it makes no logical sense to do that!
Only the gearbox (automatic) will cost you not less than 8000€.
ECU fails? Add 5000€
