And while the old cars may not have computers to break, plenty of other stuff did, like climate control, relays, wiper motor mechanisms, and RUST.
I almost never see MB's around here earlier than W203/W210/W140/W124. Very rarely I see a W123 or W126. Plenty of R107's though.

True, MPG is obsolete unless you run renewables. But you can still get a refurb w126 CCU for $130. relays are consumables, 126 wiper motor mechanisms last for ever if people would only bother lubricating them and replace the rubber seals.\ Rust can be kept at bay if you stay on top of integrity of protective coatings.
