If you doubt this, do some further research on this site with the ongoing troubles of these vehicles.

Just curious where you got this info about electrical problems on this car.
If you have facts, I would appreciate links or sources for this generalization.
I have a 96 W210 with the same motor and electrical system and it runs great with no electrical problems. Maybe the models from 98 and on may have more problems with electrical but I doubt it on the 96 and 97 as they have very little computer controlled items.
By the way my car has 148,000+ miles on it and I have not had any electrical or head gasket problems (knock on wood).
