And definitely not worth the $2500 a year they're asking for the feature.

Chances are, If you can afford the car, then that amount is nothing to you.

Having known one, some of their customers love their feature loaded cars to brag about and feel extra special. Some will definitely pay the 2.5k gladly.

Conspicuous Consumption.

If they assume full liability for any collisions while the feature is active (and it looks like they do), then I can see that being fair.

Come on, you have been able to pay the price of that Mercedes in the first place.

These 2500 are not going to hurt.

Many people use credit to buy a car out of their league.

They may do so. I have no mercy for them.

Then those people might as well take an extra loan for 2500 a year. I'm not sure what the point is you're trying to make here.
