I really don’t know much about cars, but I love classic Mercedes. After a few days of googling, all I have been able to find are warnings that these cars are expensive to maintain and a bad decision. I have not been able to find actual examples of what is considered “expensive”, or what the real cost of replacement parts are. I would love to get a 70-90’s MB 460, 500 or 560 SL, but I am not in a place to be shelling out 10k a year to maintain it.

What is it really like to own and maintain a classic Benz?
