Is my 190e experience typical?

So I bought a '93 190e for my son to get back and fourth to school a year and a half ago with 84K miles on it. It's now got 104K miles and I've had to replace all the rotors, ball joints, tie rods, idler arm rebuild, A/C condensor & Drier, and now the head gasket. Had I not done the work myself he'd be bankrupt!

The car was a single owner car that was maintained by a Mercedes dealer, so I don't think it was abused at all.

So is this a typical list of repairs when a 190e goes over 100K?

To be honest I had been seriously considering a 2002-2004 C230 Coupe as car for commuting, but I'm getting a little gun shy here!
