When was the last time you saw a W123 on the side of the road dead? Perhaps MB owners tend to be more meticulous about maint because they (mostly older models) will last more or less forever?

I never changed my ps or brake fluid on my accord, at 200k whats the point? However I know my diesels will make it to 400+ with ease and even then I will probably rebuild the engine or replace it.
