It's coming up on 15 years old and has 187,000 miles, which is not exactly old, but I'd say it qualifies as middle aged. The driver's seat is showing some wear and the cup holder is broken, but other than those things the exterior and interior are immaculate. It seems to be holding up better than either of the old Benzes I've owned. It also seems strong mechanically, though only time will tell about that. The one weak spot, AFAIK, is the transmission which did crap out at about 150,000. I am told that the transmission is a weak spot on that car.

Does look and drive nicely, but you must be lucky as far as repairs go.
So far, so good (except for the transmission). Like I said, time will tell whether it really is as good as I think it is.
