Mercedes did have some paint problems in the late nineties. They where
trying to use a more enviromentally paint on their cars and it just was not
up to the job. Plenty of W210 owners not happy. Not sure about the other
classes so much but I have seen plenty of pics of 210's with unacceptable
corrosion within a couple of years use.

Subject: [MBZ] Why are the "newer" (96-99) benzes prone to rust?
I'm wondering what happened that caused the 96-99 bodies to rust - here in
the North East, I see loads of '87 - '95 124's with perfect paint and
bodies- even with the horrible salt we get. But I see many of the newer
style with rust, especially on the rear trunk and front fenders. Did MB
change their metal, thickness or coatings? Why would they do that- they
sure got things right on the 124's.

Is that like a filter that automatically forwards posts to the banned
list based on key words? Oh, I think you were refering to Autobahn --
German highways!
Now both of you, think about the design ideas that MB was using. I have
1
word for you.... AUTOBAN.
