Tell us what big dollar items you have put into your car (I'm assuming the '84 SD?) in the last year. Did you do those jobs yourself or pay someone to do them? An old Mercedes can be very expensive to own if several big items all need work at the same time and even more so if you have to pay shop labor plus list price for the parts. If you can do the work (or even some of it) yourself it's not so bad.
