It depends on how well the car was cared for. I have a 1988 560SEC, and aside from very careful care, I have had almost nothing break on the car. Of course, front suspension has to be replaced eventually, as do the nitrogen cells in the rear.
I run only synthetic fluids in my car, (engine, trans, diff), and have noticed that as long as you give the car the best, it will never let you down.
