Back to my same argument.... Mercedes has required special tools all the way back to the mechanical injection days. You need a special test stand to test and calibrate the old gasoline injection pumps. You need a special drip tube to time a diesel injection pump. And speaking of diesel, you also need a test stand to calibrate the diesel injection pump. You needed a special set of tools to completely troubleshoot the "Chrysler" climate control that was installed in the late 80s. I could probably go on........
None of these issues keep dedicated owners away from these Mercedes. So, which of today's Mercedes will be collectable in 20 - 30 years? Most likely anything with AMG attached plus all convertibles and 2 door models. Why? History says that any factory vehicle that produces massive horsepower or anything sporty tends to be collectable years later.

Don't some parts replacements require reprogramming with the dealer's scan tool? Or am I thinking of the new Volvos? _______________________________________ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
