A good friend of mine had his '99 E 320 diesel fail in '05, it had never seen salt and the exterior body is perfect, he's an "anal-retentive" pilot and this car was/is his baby. He lived in Alabama, not near the ocean.
Nobody is safe/immune unless you never drive in the rain nor see condensation in the morning IMO.
