Is that parts only or dealer-maintained expenses?
I'd otherwise have to agree with yosshimura...I'd be a bit peeved if in any given year I had spent that much in repairs for all of my MBs combined!
Short of the possible head gasket or A/C issues (which should occur once in the car's lifetime, hopefully), I'd expect $$ spent for routine fluid changes, wear-related items, and occasionally, a set of tires, but that's about it.
You are right about being ahead in your yearly cost of ownership as compared to the "real" costs of owning and maintaining a much newer vehicle...
...but I would still balk at the $1500/yr. figure...unless I was maintaining an R107...
