But what i am trying to say is the new cars are going to get as old as the older cars we have now.. i am saying each MB when they are 20-30-40 years old. From whatever year they were built. To they stay sturdy and reliable as when these newer cars get to the age our older cars are at now. If this makes anysense.... So when these newer cars get to be 20-25 years old. would you want a 20-25 year old 89mb or a 25 year old 2006-7-8 MB.
I think you will start to see the cars past 1990 ish time frame will be less likely to make it past 25 years mostly because of there complexity and lack of parts support. Just think about it you need a new computer for you DAS equipt 1996 SL600 in the year 2021. Go to yopur local dealer part has been discontinued. You can buy one but you cant start the car with it because its coded to some other car.

Aftermarket injection systems are going to become a big seller when OE injection parts become obsolete.

On the other hand corrosion protection has become better in most cases so the usual age killer will allow these cars to live on longer.
