Depends on how much the seller wants for it. 210s are very reliable
cars and that will do 28mpg all day long in reasonable comfort. More
reliable than a 211 I think, or least fewer things to go wrong, but not
as comfortable. If the price is good, and here I would say sub $2k if
it has been sitting for 10yr on a tank of petrol, then go for it but
expect to do fuel system maintenance, drain the old stuff out, filter,
injector cleaner, etc. Then all the rubber bits will probably need to
be changed for new -- belt, hoses, tires, brake lines (and fluid
flush). Trans fluid drain, new filter. Throw some fluid in the diff.
Basically anything needed to get a disused vehicle roadworthy and
reliable. That stuff will run you several hundred dollars and some
hours of work but nothing too strenuous. Realize after that the car
would still be worth maybe $2500-$3k if in decent condition body-wise so
price accordingly.

A friend of mine is considering a W210. His elderly neighbor has it. Spotless
but hasn’t been driven much. 10 year old gas in it. He asked me if it was
worth it. The only things I remember is most people like the 124 and they skip
right over to the 211.
The 210 has all the weird rust problems and crazy suspension issues? Is that
right? It’s a gasser 320.
I have no interest in it. Unless of course it was REALLY cheap and truly
spotless and rust free.
