There are not too many RWD alternatives. MB, BMW or Lexus.

I personally traded in S90 for MB S320L. All luxury cars are expensive to maintain, what do you expect for a car originally priced in the range of $50 to 100 k.

Mercedes has been a pleasant surprise in parts pricing. Parts are available and original parts are about the same price as 3rd party parts. Parts for Volvo S90 were very expensive and available only from the dealer, hardly any 3rd party parts available. Shocks being a typical example.

Many indie shops have specialized in Mercs ( at least in our country, Finland ) resulting in reasonable maintenance costs.

Happy hunting!!
