Ooh you've gone and done it now ;)
I've occasionally wondered about these statements from Tom. I can't remember
what he's got for a Jeep but I just don't see it.
Even just fluid and filter changes have to be more as there are more fluids...
Of course fuel costs of a w123 300D vs a (for instance) 2.5l YJ probably
balances in favor of the Jeep but for long distance driving there is no
comparison.
Change the MB to a w201 2.2l 5spd and its over the other way.

hi Tom!
i have to wonder what models you're talking about; my 123 300D
hasn't cost nearly as much as my J**p XJ to feed and maintain, and my
BMW GS Adv (not including farkles) is worth roughly half what it was
worth new. (i don't have any experience with HDs, but see they're not
appreciating around here like they once did,...) FWIW, i'm doing a
little over 2/3 your annual millage.
could you share some specifics?
cheers!
