36mpg is actually not at all out of the question, though you’ll probably get closer to 30 or 32mpg.

With good maintenence history and an original engine, this car would still fetch a few thousand dollars- with a new block it’s certainly worth $4000. As far as parts being “looney tunes” high, that’s not really true unless you have a very rare model or catastrophically bad luck. Yes, some things are very expensive (Injection Pump) but most things that typically fail are on par with any other import car.

At 260,000 you may be looking at a transmission in the next 40,000 or so if it’s still original. It’s unlikely that it’ll just stop working, it’ll slowly start showing it’s age with slower and slippier shifts. A rebuild will run anywhere from $1500 to $3000 depending on the hourly rate in your area. The special thing about these cars, though, is that once it’s replaced it’ll last another 300,000 miles.

With regular maintenence, unless you drive a tremendous amount, this could last the rest of your life. $4000 isn’t really all that much compared to $25,000 for a new car that’ll /hopefully/ last 200,000 miles. The safety and fit and finish of the new cars can’t match the older Mercedes either.
