What is the most you spent on a single repair?
What is the most you have ever spent on a single repair for the Benz? It can be parts/labor or any combo.

$2500 to replace the #1 piston on the 86 SDL. Ran the car for 100,000 mileas afte that and was starting to develop low compression on #1 again. I think the previous owner hit the oil pan hard and caused the front seciton of the crank to be slightly out. the #1 piston had indications of oscilating on the bore. But that car is gone.

Oh yeah, another $150 for new windshield that got smashed by a guy with his skateboard after I punched him out when he shoved me at a gas station after a verbal altercation. Lucky I had my young son with me or the fury of it would have likely led me to running him down with the car as he was skating away and going to jail for vehicular homicide...

24K plus tax and licencing on my C280 when I totaled it. That is what the E300 TD cost so I figure that is what it cost me to repair the C280.

Roughly 600 bucks (canadian) for parts + labourf for full 168 km maintenance. I bought all the parts and my indy mechanic did the job. So far not a single problem. (knock on wood)
PS: when I went over our 95 E300D records from new, total the PO spent $5500 on maintenance and small repairs over the 9 years that he had the car from new.
