I used to believe that until I compared my maintenance records and parts purchased on my 2001 SLK230 to my 1982 240D, 1984 190D, and 1993 190E.

It is my belief that the newer MB's require less maintenance, offer much more passenger safety, better interior, and are better built. What really intrigues me is when I compare the base price of the new 2008 C class to my 1993 190E. You are getting more car for the money.
