but what might be some of the major problems that might occur. i talked to a friend of mine who by the way is wealthy, he says he hasnt seen a MB go over 15000 miles without something happening, is this true or just bad luck for him, he drives an 1997 E class. oh and for an example, his sunroof went off track and it cost him i think 1200 or 1500 to fix that. is this just for the newer models or is it for both older(80's and below) and newer(90's and up) models. by the way this forum is great i have learned alot just by your discussions. i appreciate everyones help. thanks alot. by the way im in houston is there anyone else here from houston?
