decide Vs decide on
I'm studying about the difference between to-infinitive complement and gerund complement such as try to and try -ing. I know the difference between try to and try-ing, but I don't know what the difference is between 'decide to buy a Mercedes' and 'decide on buying a mercedes'. Are they same or different? Somebody, help me!

I see no difference in meaning, except that we seldom use the complement form with a gerund: instead, we ' decide on a Mercedes' or 'decide to buy a Mercedes'.
