Turn of Century or Newer Mercedes – Any Enthusiasts?

Turn of Century or Newer Mercedes – Any Enthusiasts?

I bought my 1984 300SD in August of 2001. It has been an interesting experience and the car runs better today than when I bought. I will not be giving up my diesel.

I like Mercedes in general because they are rear wheel drive cars, which makes them easier to work on. I feel these cars are for people who like cars. The 15 year old Mercedes are cheap and the old E-classes and S-classes can be had for a couple of thousand dollars. To bad there are no diesels, but these cars are really in nice condition. It is really tempting to buy a 15 year old Mercedes compared to a 30 year old Mercedes for the same price. I could have had a 2002 S500 in like new condition for $2,500 one day. The airmatic suspension makes me worry.

I have been reading the boards for a couple of years now. There are not a lot of postings on these turn of century cars. There are a lot of posts for the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s. But for 2000+, there are not a lot of posts. I am wondering why there are no enthusiasts?

Is it that no one likes to work on these cars because of the computerization?
Are Daimler-Chrysler made cars just plain junk and quality has gone down hill?
Are the parts just to hard to get?

Are there any turn of the century cars for enthusiasts or do-it-yourselfers?
