>They are buying them independent of the price.

This statement contradicts the entire theory of supply and demand. Also, my family owned a Mercedes once, and those things break down too damn often.

>Tell that the Chinese...

It doesn't. If it would, the theory would be wrong. Cars like the Mercedes S-Class are not sold based on price - it's a luxury good. Advanced machines for factories are not bought primarily on price - otherwise Germany would have lost these markets long to cheaper competition.
