Overall, I liked my 124 (totaled at 29+ years & 148kmi) better than my 211
(11 years & 82kmi).

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Major disappointment
Just from working on some of the newer cars I would guess they will not
last as long. Some of the 10 year old cars now I see priced at about half
or a 3rd or what a similarly model would have been when the 123 124 126
and 140s were at the same 10 year mark in their life cycle. If that makes
sense. They seem cheaper to buy.
The 210 seems ok but is not built as tough as the 124 or older. While I
like driving the 210, every time I get back into a 124 I really think I
like them better even though the 210 has some nice modern features.

That would be my concerns as well. Do modern MBs have the longevity of
their legacies, or are they commodities like other marques?

The quality was built in 40 years ago. Not so sure about the new MB.
Will be many years before we will be certain, and I may be gone by then.
Many people who buy new do not keep a car long enough to care. They
move on. I suspect that is why car companies do not much worry about the
long term.
