1 1/2 years ago I bought a 200 (W124) year 1989 from my family and am actually satisfied with the car. When I got it, it had 140,000 original kilometers down. Now it has about 155,000 km down. What bothers me, however, are the repairs, which are of course always unexpectedly in the house.

I drive really little (about 10,000 km a year). Is that even more expensive? Sure, Mercedes driving costs money, but for the 15,000 km alone I find 3,000 euros in repairs quite a lot of money. Or is the SLK? What do you think? Switch to the SLK or stay with the W124? Greetings from Hamburg!
