One relatively unknown fact about MB cars. On my 1998 SLK 230 it was recommended that the air bags be replaced at 15 years age! Never heard that on any cars other than possibly German made and not sure if that applies to earlier or later made MB cars, but that could cast more than the car itself is worth.

$5k sounds awfully high for a benz of than age with that mileage. They tend to get very costly to repair at higher mileages than that. I paid $7800 for my SLK a couple of years ago and it had less than 90k miles on it when I bought it.
