Thank you all for your input. This car is just kind of overwheming me with the amount of repairs that need to be done. Of all the vehicles I have ever owned, I have never spent so much money keeping up with repairs and I keep my vehicles until the wheels fall off.

I never really knew about sites like this that discuss repair solutions/problems. With the 75 300D, I have had few problems other than rubber parts needing replacing. When I got the 124 used, I also finally got a computer and started using the net. If I would have found such sites before the purchase, I would have not purchased the vehicle.

All of you provide a good service and advice.

PS - I think it was Steve Brotherton that said that MB put out a cost of ownership warning with these faulty ac evaporator prone vehicles. I find that rather comical. Here one pays mucho $$$$ for an MB and they warn you that they could be a money pit when it comes to repairs. Nice they warn you, but they should not have to because they should have fixed the problem.

Sorry, I'll get off my soap box.
