Yes and furthermore, Mercedes has a much better parts availability than many other cars. Finding OE interior parts on many ten year old cars is nearly impossible. Not so with Mercedes.
Asian cars parts are also quite pricey, more so than quality European car parts. Honda is one example. So many w123s were built that a steady supply of used parts will be around for years to come and with the above mentioned relative ease of Mercedes new parts aquisition, holding on to a w123 diesel should be a cakewalk.
