Wouldn't they think of running enough simulatinos and road tests
before putting it on the market and letting the consumer road test it for them to be best? I mean, that iiisssss what the Japanese do don't they?
I think you keep seeing high mileage MBs on the road b/c , like you said, the steel quaility, paint, etc... keeps it together. They stay in pretty good "visual' condition... so you keep putting money into it....as I did as well... but look how many fixes you listed.... that shouldn't be the case...
