McTwin2k man

No one is saying MB don't run into **** at times. Just saying my '90 300-E has 122k on it. It needed a water pump, a thermostate, signal light bulbs twice, break master cylinder,Serpentine belt and tensoner, muffler,coming up to it's second set of front rotors, dist. cap, third cam seal, 2nd set of plug wires- Basicly it needed nothing and coming up on 15 years. This will not be your experience. Granted, you may not want to hold on to a car for that long. Keep in mind the Bremin Germany Factory made something I don't want to get rid off. If the car was made in Tenn. with a Taiwan Engine and the Work Force you get down there, then beleive me, I would be looking at the picture the same way as you and I would be using your words too-, "a mass produced car", "what do you expect."

I just suggesting an era has come and gone, and what you get today is kid stuff out of Mercedes. At least with a Honda or Toyota, you get there and back, although not in the same comfort.
