Yeah although I have had to do a lot of work to my 190 since I bought it, the parts and engine have held up for 18 years and 160,000 miles. All I have done is normal maint to get it to where it should have been if the previous owner actually maintained it. As for my C class, the wife wants to keep it til it dies but I am not that optimistic. It is an SC'ed engine so I will get rid of it before it hits 100,000 miles or sooner if I start having problems while still under warranty. On a side note, my family used to own a Dodge Dealership so maybe I am just used to cars breaking!!!! Also had Lincoln Mercury back in the day and AMC/Eagle. So as you may figure there was a lot of broke down cars that I saw. Even Toyota's and Honda's.
