Interesting - We've owned one new car in the 30+ years we've been married, and take at least a 4000+ mile trip every summer. The only time we've had to stop and have a car repaired was on the new car (the Plymouth van), during it's last six months of warranty - fuel pump died on I-90 at the MN/WI border. The old MBs have never let us down. YMMV.
