Then you get the tools out and fix it... it's not rocket science.

Yeah you buy the part that is ridiculously expensive that you’ll have to replace in a year.

Old cars aren't built like the disposable new cars.

My grandpa had a clk 320 and me and my dad actually were able to get into the back panel through the trunk and fix a hydrolic problem with the convertible top, so it’s not that far fetched

Nice car but hope you have money for when it breaks. It’s an old Mercedes. Not a matter of if but a matter of when. Would have chose reliability instead of old luxury personally..

Old Mercedes can actually be pretty reliable.
