Hello Paul and welcome to the forum! As with any car out of production the availability of new spares will become an issue as time goes on, in particular body panels and interior trim pieces. The good news is most of the mechanicals are MB and readily available. As more and more end up at the breakers, used parts will be on hand. Several (many?) of the forum members have begun stock piling spares and very often make them available to forum members in need. Good luck with your purchase and keep us posted!
