MB vs Subaru cost of maintaining.

This past 6 months our 91 190e has been a money pit.
She has 90K and was well cared for before we bought.

Muffler, Radiator, FI actuator (sp), rear sway bar link,
and 90k mile service. Is this just a short run of bad
luck or will the 190 continue to need more work than
our Subaru outback "96" 118K

Thanks Dave

ugh- I had a '98 subaru outback wagon that leaked everywhere, costing MUCH more than the two benzes below cost currently. no more new cars for me... though, I did have an old GL wagon a long time ago and it was awesome... and the new subarus look like good stuff- maybe I had a lemon? did like having weather band radio...

I had bought a couple of Subarus to sell and was suprised at the price of some of the parts. Off subject...they were also some of my hardest to sell. I thought in Utah they'd sell like hotcakes (since it seemed like everybody had one) but they just sat. LOL
