... hello thread?

Bought a 4rth hand white with blue interior 230TE with 130K just after Easter (spotted at the side of Ford Prison by my missus!). Car seems pretty much perfect apart from a little water ingress in the drivers footwell (am chasing that down), and the offside rear wing (I think the rear window was badly replaced a while back - but the water ingress is not a lot).

Am currently very happy with the purchase, I still get that "Do I really own a Mercedes?" feeling whenever I look at it on the driveway.

So far have used the rear seats twice already!

Very little rust on mine (touches wood) - apart from inside the rear offside window frame (?) where the glass leaks slightly.

underside has a little corrosion - but decidely little for the age/mileage.
