My 1989 Ford T-Bird Super Coupe has an Eaton supercharger which, after 150,000 miles, is still going strong. The front oil seal is leaking a little, but not nearly enough to take it apart and repair it. The rebuilt front "nose" unit is available from Eaton for about $ 450 exchange. Can't speak for the M-B units.
