The great number of posts that have created the impression of Mercedes complexity are due, IMHO, to (a) newbies asking for advice and (b) members who like to discuss technical details ad infinitum. I place myself in both categories.
Many (most?) older cars, Mercedes included, come to subsequent owners with a list of deferred maintenance items. Once you work through that list, the car is usually reliable. I knew nothing of diesels when I bought my first Benz; I know a little more now, thanks to this forum.
