I keep hearing of the upkeep costs on these cars. Were they not built as tough as, say, a W123 or what? I suppose those do need about $2-$3K of suspension work to get back up to factory spec though, as well. I haven't really heard of about they handle either. They are roadsters (they are rather heavy though), so I hope they handle at least better than my W123. (See, im trying to convince my mom to get rid of the SDL and get a nice SL) Do they roll around a lot with "spirited" driving like W123's?
