question is, is it worth it at the end as the w124's arent really collectible models etc....

I guess the question is do you love the car or did you just buy it because it gets you from point A to point B.
Im rather attached to my cars emotionally as if they were my children. If they need repair they get repair regardless of the overall cost involved. Im sure Im in the hole already on my 300SD and will soon be in the hole with my S320 but they both are the exact cars I wanted with the exact options I wanted and I have grown fond of all their quirks.
I bought my Volvo 240 and got a good deal from a previous owner that had over 10K worth of upgrades and service into it. While he did not recover his 10K I was more motivated to purchase the car and paid a higher than market value for it.
