I've been a serial Mercedes owner for the past forty odd years and therefore thought now is the time to join the forum.
That my current one is a W220 S500 might have something to do with it, since it's the first one exceeding my "expertise" (triple lol) when it comes to fixing cars.
Previously owned Mercedesesses:
1951 170 S
1958 180 D
1971 280 SE
1971 300 SEL 6.3
1979 450 SEL 6.9
1986 560 SEL
1987 560 SEC
2001 E240

Most of them are so long gone, that any photos that do exist are from the pre digital camera era.
But here is one of my quite recently deceased E240, which was bought as a Winter Beater and actually stayed on to beat three winters, albeit the last one with a very shady MOT.
Behold the incredible HLK.

My favorite MB body style of all time. That car looked AMAZING in AMG body trim!!
Thank you.
It's not a show winner, and it's not going to be one during my ownership.
It's a fully functional driver and has not really put a foot wrong since we bought it last October.
It hitherto needed nothing except normal maintenance and the usual car stuff, like tyres, a battery, front brake pads, and some light bulbs.
All buttons work, except the parking sensor one, but I have eyeballs, so I'm not bothered for now.
It was serviced by a garage yesterday, who also did a Star diag. According to them there were no faults worth investigating.
It does 'sweat' slightly from the rocker cover gaskets (TADTS), but they recommended to wait until it gets worse, which could be a long time.

Sadly this body style enthusiastically reacted with O2 for fun, which sadly led to the end of the useful life of mine.
It will have one last blast of glory by being banger raced.
A friend of mine in Germany has an AMG, amazingly with zero rust, but a blown engine.
