That one looks good for the price as well. are you buying this for personal use? I would prefer a diesel in that car with the fuel prices and Tax hikes. Its a big/heavy car and can be quiet costly to run.

She does look nice though.....

if it has full MB history, you can get the rust repaired under warranty.

If you promised yourself then go for it (at that price even if you have to spend £200 on repairing the rust, its still a very good deal), you will never look back.

MB are very very luxurious cars. I wake up every morning to drop Mrs Rahal to work at 6:30am and as you can imagine at times I am really grumpy until i get in my car and my eyes light up and mood changes.

It really is amazing....

Once the rust is there it is very hard and expensive to fix, I would not go near it

I thought you could repair it and it should stay away.:(:(

So I should sell my car ASAP as I have some rust bubbles on the rear inner arches starting to show under the paint work??

thats what i was thinking if it would be worth the hassle of trying to claim for the work to be done and the inconvience of it all,, hopefully something else will turn up that i can just buy and drive/enjoy, as ive never driven an auto before, and have the "right" coloured steering wheel, lol

I was aware of your bubbles before I posted,, already having the problem is different to buying one with it.

Yes you can do a fair job on holding it back,but it is not cheap and could involve re painting both sides,,it depends on the colour to some degree, and if the rust is within the lip or on the wing face
