Engine and transmission very solid. This body is known to suffer from rust.
The worst manifestation is rust at the front spring perches, which will

Edmunds. Com has pretty good price guide. I have seen top rust at top of
strut under hood. I don't know about underneath. I have a buddy who had to
put 2 front fenders on his w210 diesel. I have always loved the retro look
of them. Hope you get a keeper.

Uh-huh.
I have three that say otherwise.
As in I had all the tools laid out ahead, ran it for 30 miles and had the
manifold off the engine in approximately 10 minutes after shutoff.
I used a torque wrench and was worrying them with lots of penetrant.
Three of them broke off at less than 40Nm.
Wow, sorry to hear that. How did you get out the broken plugs?

Three of them broke off at less than 40Nm. One came out like butter...
So, would there be any advantage to doing it while the
engine was _running_? There's be lots of fresh heat and
vibration to help bust 'em loose. All you'd want to do was
loosen them, you'd stop the engine to pull them out.
A running engine would also provide compression gas forces pushing the plug out
to encourage them along...

HAHA - "Showroom Condition" except for that minor "needs engine"
problem! Ha! it's like saying, "I feel fine... except for this .45
cal gun shot to my chest".. .:-)
But seriously - if the engine suffered a problem because lack of
maintenance, I wonder what else was neglected?
