You are right. I meant 210. I looked the car over for the rust issue -
the shock towers show no sign of rust. I did a little research and
found cases of rust problems in the 97-99 models. But not in the 1996.
I wonder if something changed

What's a guy to do who wants to drive Mercedes, but wants something a little
more modern?
Pony up and buy an E320CDI/Bluetech :-).
You like the W126's, so maybe, the perfect Mercedes would be a 300SDL? it

I change cars pretty often and I thought I wanted a truck. Whatever I
buy has to look good (occasionally take clients in my car) has to be

I think you mean a 210.Check for rust on the front suspension and
