I have never owned a benz, so i can't personally comment on reliability etc, but judging by what i see at the PNP's W123 and W116 MB's do not hold up as well as volvo when it comes to rust. Sure the old 144 and 244's I see are rusty too, but it is usually just surface stuff while the MB's have serious holes etc. A good way of finding out more about them is to have a look at the MB forums,like benzworld and topklasse. If you ever look at one, check around the door seals (especially at lower door seals)and boot seals, under the carpet, and anywhere near the firewall for rust- these are the spots thats seem to be rusty on virtually all of them. -- '89 245 'Haga', '77 244 DL Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
