Old Mercedes are pretty reliable. Its just, like most German cars, repars and maintanence can be very expensive. You might want to check what kind of engine it is. most of the older ones are Diesel.

They are LOUD; on the otherhand, diesel engine will drive forever, which is why a lot of the older mercedes on the road are diesel.
