Yeah it certainly seems dubious. My parents bought a brand new '96 E320 for $40k back in 1996. Total cost of repairs over 11 years of ownership? $25K. More than half of the price of the car new. That's just unexpected repairs - that does not include regular maintenance.
However I've heard that the 95/96 Mercedes E is one of the most unreliable cars of all time so I doubt our experience is the norm.
Edit: actually it was a '95 E bought in 1995. '96 was a refresh year. We had the boxy headlights not the round ones.
