I am not sure I made a great choice in getting the w220. It is a
very nice example that gets praise from the people at shops I have
taken her to. That said, the thing is overly complex and bound to
be very expensive to maintain. Selection of design parts is rather
substandard compared to previous E class models. Very oriental in
and cheapo carpet, dash as well as headliner

1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green
1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran
1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV

Yes, exactly why I can't see buying any post 124/126 MB. A 126 is SO
much better, simpler (even though it is complex) and easier/cheaper
to maintain.
Maybe by an off lease new one and then sell/buy another every year IF
you can afford it. But they are no longer the low cost per mile
vehicle that the 110 through 126 are/were.
So I think newish stuff will be frods, dogdes or maybe even an Imp. for me.
The beauty of the 110 through 123 Diesels is that they are simply the
lowest cost per mile vehicle available. now deetriot iron gets 250
to 350k miles routinely, and better mileage than the 70s and 80s
stuff except diesels and a lot less money to get into. $3k will buy
you a decent car with under 100k miles IF you shop around.
