Well, rust is pretty much guaranteed in Chicago or Saint Louis on an old MB. I just want something to play with, maybe keep it for a while, maybe not. The 190e ad mentions rust spots, but the other ads don't say much. What's weird about the 300ce, is that is has a different hood and grille from a SL, I think. The 300ce appears to be a European version as well. Thanks for the offer to go check it out, I have to see if it's possible for me to have another car before I would drive up there to look at it. Probably major rust would be one of the only deal killers here, or the car being a basket case.

The 190e would need the basic "just out of storage" stuff like changing fluids and tires, I'll have to look into the 190e and the 300ce. The 280ce doesn't seem like a real AMG comparing it to Boardmonger's 1979 AMG. The 190e ad has been up or a week, and the 300ce 2 days. I think the 190e would be much more fun, but with sitting 5 years and having rust it could be much more of a basket case.
