With the sticker on a 1992 300Se being $69,000.00 in 1992, repairing the afore mentioned items is well worth it for the ride and comfort the 140 provides. Mine has had the wiring harness replaced, trans valve body and 5th gear solenoid replaced along with the inner trans wire harness, new bearings and seal in the differential (200K miles), rear wheel bearings, and now a valve job and timing chain. Next up the front end and the a/c evaporator. All window risers and motors replaced and new capacitors replaced in the Bose sound system. Total should end up at about $12,000.00 and having paid $13,500.00 I will have 150K to 200K more miles on a beautiful luxury car, and I have put 100K on it already. The numbers add up for me.
