Like Jim Yuhn, the constant repair of the auxilliary equipment on my 124 just got to be overwhelming. The drivetrain and suspension have proven to be near bullet proof, but I have replaced so much stuff on the car from a/c parts, to belt tensioners to you name it, I'm just done. Currently I'm working 60 or so hours a week and just dont have the time any more to keep up with it.

Hey,
If you enjoy the car thats the only thing that really matters since your the one paying all the bills. I hope you enjoy the Mustang. They have always been a great car for the money and the new one is really nice.
Don't throw the towel in for the MB model line. There are lots of other cars out there other than 124's. My take on 124's is they are more trouble than they are worth. You have the same expense and hassle of dealing with their issues as you would in an S class or an SL and your still driving an E class.
A word of advice perhaps. Let the new owner deal with any other problems you run into. Most buyers of older MB's are not on the same level as people on this list. Most buyers will be happy with a car that starts and drives well with a reasonable cosmetic appearance. It would be a shame for you to sink a ton of money into a car only to sell it to some undeserving person who is not smart enough to appreciate the deal they got.
