but the motor unit looks pretty small and basic compaired to newer one's, could new rings cyl sleaves & bearings seals be such a large expence? if it where a vor-tec v8 manybe $2000 to totaly rework, could this old mercedes motor last 15 more years if repaired, my 98 isuzu 4cyl fuel injection could not even make 70,000 miles it's dead and will cost $1500 to repair, no quality in that one, and only around 20 MPG , I feel the auto makers of some models really didn't plan on their machines lasting as well as they should have, as a good friend of many years once told me about bourbon whiskey, he stated it was made to sell and not to drink, a good point made ,as many cars could be made to sell but don't expect to drive them very long, aren't the older a little cheaper for parts,due to the low amount of Tec-and electro trash , like on newer models,?
