Angry I think is time to sell my W124. Shoul I keep it?

Hi guys,

1995 E320 Sedan but only 46k miles !!

This is my first MB. I got it a year ago. It used to be my mother’s car and before that it belonged to my mother’s boss, so I know the car since new and I know it has received all the required maintenance at the dealer's shop.

I really love this car. It's really a pleasure to drive but I'm starting to think I just can't afford it's maintenance cost. Unbelivable, but this is what I have replaced during this last 12 months:
  • Engine wire harness.
  • Motor computer, ECU (because harness failure).
  • Throtle actuator.
  • Oil cooler (intercooler?)
  • Water pump.
  • Heater hose.
  • Radiator upper and lower hoses.
  • Bypass and overflow hoses.
  • Thermostat.
  • Expansion tank.
  • Expansion tank preasure cap.
  • Motor mounts.
  • Valve cover gasket.
  • One ignition coil.
  • Tires.
Right now, the car needs a new Neutral Safety Switch and maybe an Intake air temperature sensor (code 3, pin8).

I thinks this is really bad for a car with 46k miles!. What can I expect if I keep the car? I have replaced almost all the inyection asociated electronics but the car keeps asking for maintenence. What's next? New transmission? A new radiator or an air flow sensor? The heater core? Maybe the other 2 ignition coils?


Will someone please call the "Overhauling" people at the Discovery Chanel and let them know about my car?

Thanks!
