In fairness, I think it would be more appropriate to applaud the amount of parts still available for these surviving cars, the youngest of which are now 31 years old.
I have regularly sourced relatively obscure parts the next morning from the regional warehouse in my part of Canada and even more obscure within a week from Germany. Given that the w123s are all but invisible now in Canada, that is remarkable service from an automaker. If there is another that equals it, I haven't heard about it.
Speaking of the SLS shocks, I have always been puzzled as to why no one ever seems to have made an effort to rebuild them (various people have made cottage industries out of other specialized things for these cars).
