My 97 E class was fairly full of tech, for the day, and about the level I would like it now (ML just a little bit too much....) and back in the day my car was $140k odd new, so a new one today for $90k is cheap in comparison.....My ultimate Mercedes would be a w108 body with the m104 engine and running gear from my old E class....
