No, you are not crazy. The running gear, in fact every part, of this car is Daimler Benz. I have driven three Benz's to 400K. I plan to drive both of my Crossies at least that far.
With the exception of Body panels, there is no shortage of MB parts and maintenance is a simple chore.
Oil filters, tires battery Fluids. Keep them topped off and fresh.
And if issues arise, post them here. SOMEBODY will have solutions. This forum is the best ap you can have on your new toy.
