Lately I’ve been wondering if it’s time to part with my 1985 190e. I bought the car 2 ½ years ago because I wanted a Mercedes and the price of entry was quite reasonable. However, as I look at the things that I’ve repaired over the years, I wonder if I’d do better by selling it and buying a newer car. Here is a shot list of repairs that I’ve made.

Muffler
Aux fan switch
Aux water pump
Battery
Shocks (4)
Steering shock
Front strut to frame mount
Master break cylinder
Break pads (4)
Clutch
Head gasket
Radiator
Distributor Cap & Rotor Replacement
Condenser (soon- maybe)

Currently, the car is in good condition and has never needed a major repair or overhaul. All of the items I’ve replaced have been ones that normally wear out over time. And, since my car is a 5spd, which I love, it’s going to be hard to find another like it. What do you guys think? Are the items I’ve replaced consistent with that of a 15 year old Benz?

Thanks
