Correct.....I sold my CL500 to the guys that serviced it when yet another £1000 part was needed for the ABC...and bought a W126 560SEL(without the flash suspension!), not only has it been much cheaper to run I also get to use it for days at a time without booking it in to get something else fixed! I almost drove the loan C class more than I drove my CL!!Which goes to prove that really expensive cars back then relied on technology that the garage round the corner could fix. Now the implimentation of proprietary electronics has made the servicing of cars effectively a licence to print money for main dealers . Undoubtedly part of the appeal of older models.
