Hi there,
My wife and I have a new family member arriving soon and unfortunately the W123 Coupe will have to go as fetching the baby seat out of the back is just too much.
I've been very excited by the idea of replacing it with a circa 1996/8 W210 saloon and have been to see a couple today.
Eek, very lovely, nice looking, wonderfully specified cars at reasonable prices - with rust breaking out all over. A search on this forum finds many scary threads on this subject.
I don't want to get involved in trying to get rust repaired, as this has got to be a reliable ever present workhorse (it will also be transporting a double bass).
Realistically, how long would a W210 with a rust problem last?
Many thanks for any advice,
Kevin
