This is exactly why I moved away from old MBs. I have neither the time nor
inclination (any more) to be spending a portion of my weekend or evenings to
work on a car, even though I have a place to do it.
The day will come when I have the time and resources to tinker again, and when
that day comes, I'll find a nice older MB to do it with. Until then, it's
strictly utilitarian stuff - get in, turn the key and go.

Older MB's are obiously a hobby as much as a driver. Same would apply to an
older Chevy when it comes right down to
it.
Sometimes, people just get tired of the ongoing hassle of repairs and
maintenance and want a new vehicle that will
likely have no issues for a good while. Even a 5 year old north american
vehicle is likely to have a lot less
troubles than a 25 year old Mercedes. Even if the Mercedes was a top of the
line expensive vehicle and has service
records to show it was properly cared for.
It is easy to just buy or lease something new, drive it for a couple of years
and then do it again. Much more
difficult to keep an old car going forward, especially if you care about the
old car and want it to last.
