The R-Class would have to suffer from the same or similar technological various and sundry advancements/problems that plague any of the MB diesel cars post the W124.
Looking to any MB built post the W124 diesel-sedans for a cheap-ride is the wrong place to look, IMO.
If you want cheap/reliable - go Asian - problem(s) solved........

He's not dumb. The R320 was a demonstrator. He had them CPO it and bought out the warranty so it came with 7.5 years of warranty coverage. Likely replace after the warranty expires as 8 years of 20K+ miles/year of kid duty pretty much wears out any car.
