You'd be much better off spending that $3,000 on a better example. You can buy pretty much rust free 240's and 300's around here for $3,000 all day long.
I don't really need this car, but it is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic shape, so seems a shame to not fix it. The rust looks bad in pics and it is! But it is just in those places. I am going to try and keep cost down to $2000 plus taxes, but it may grow as we get further into it.

We have owned this car for over 20 years, but all that rust was hidden under carpets and sound proofing and behind front fender liners and undercoating.

I drive this car a lot and leave the "good" car in the garage except for long trips. $3k on this car may hopefully extend life of E320 by several more years.

Good Luck with your car NC-Diesel.
