That's pretty much the fate for the entry level models, including the subsequent W202 and 203 C-Class. The cars end up on the resale/used market at even lower purchase prices and typically that equates into owners that have little interest in putting money into the car for "proper" maintenance. Buying from original owners who keep records helps.
