Mercedez Benz: Up to what year were they good?

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Before I bought an old M-B or any european car, I would check the cost of replacement parts and repairs. No matter how good they are, things wear out and have to be replaced. Like automatic transmissions, water pumps, exhaust systems, brakes, ec. Unless you are a collector or just are dying to have a particular model M-B, I think it would be very tough to justify financially.
Point well taken, AAA. First, though, I need to narrow it down to what the good years were and then the models. Then I can check into costs.
 
Quote from hapaboy:

I believe they were still good, reliable cars up until sometime in the 90's. When exactly they stopped being good is what I'm trying to find out.

And yeah, I'm trying to find an alternative to the dugout. Are you still getting around in a kangaroo pouch? :D

Naw, there in plague proportion here, so i traded in my hoppydog before the resale value dropped too much.:)

Its probably a safe bet about the chrysler merger-if the wind is blowing the wrong way, a chrysler even driving past another make of car will effect its reliability, there that bad.:eek:
