If you have about $3K expendable cash per year then consider buying it. If the engine goes south, you'll need another $8K on top of that.

If you can live with those numbers, then buy it.
I've heard that as well, about the yearly cost for maintaining a w140 diesel. But why is this specifically?

I mean, assuming it has had a rebuild & doesn't bend rods on a weekly basis. I'm just curious here.
