I’m be much more concerned about a priest saying something contrary to Church teaching in a homily, or a priest who says the words of Absolution in Confession incorrectly, or a priest who uses Vessels made of glass than about a priest who drives a Mercedes.
On the other side of the coin, the monsignor who was our pastor (God rest his soul) was criticized for driving a 20 year old car. He could not see why he should buy a new one when the old one ran fine and he’d never had any trouble with it.
I have seen priests who actually wore threadbare clothes drove old cars etc. I have also seen the ones who drive mercedes Lexus etc & U hardly ever see them in the Roman collar, & the clothes they were are very expensive & those kind dont seem to have much humility
