A great example is a s320 that I worked on at the dealer. It was a 96 or 97- I dont remember exactly, but the gentalman had been bringing it to the dealer for the last 7-8 years. On one of his visits,the service adviser called me over to his desk. He had up on the computer the totals this guy had spent on the car in the last 7-8 years. Around $34,000!!!!!.

I would think that fairly typical for taking any car to an MB dealership for that long a period of time, especially for a passive unengaged owner, but not at all inconsistent with my point, which was: know the car, do the work yourself and it doesn't cost much to maintain a mid-90s S320.
