Merc also do a classic parts range - so parts are not as pricey as you might think.
That said, I'm reeling a bit from a £320 service on my "taxi." Included rear brake hoses, rear anti roll bar links, front pads and full fluid replacement but I still had a bit of a "waargh!" moment. That said, the 2CV cost me almost as much when I got the gearbox sorted out last year. Cars can be pricey - just can't bring myself to dish out the neglect with the Merc that I know it'd probably take!

No idea why people have started turning to them - I was never interested in the things until i stumbled across the merc mafia on here - and now i've got one.
The older stuff is undeniably cool - that's it i reckon.

the one or 2 benz owners clubs are generally for rich eejits with sub 5 year old mercs who want to obtain 0000.1 mpg more from their car, and bite your head off at the thought of modding one....... I agree. Before RR was invented I was in the Mercedes Club, and quite a regular on the forum. But I got fed up with people posting up lowrider Benzies and saying "Look how he's ruined his car" kind of comments. Plus the gatherings were a little bit stuffy sometimes, and I don't really like going to shows that are just full of a handful of the same models, just different colours and trim levels. I'd much rather go to an RR meet and wonder what's gonna turn up next! ;D I'm not one for one-marque forums, so I probably wouldn't frequent a Benz one. RR is the only forum I use! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
