Here is the ad (not that it shows any of the "minor" rust): 1982 Mercedes Benz 300D (196K)

The paint looks beautiful (maybe I say that because mine is awful!), but the front seats are filthy! If you go look at this car, pull up all the mats, crawl the car underneath, and pull the inner fenderwell linings looking for rust. Let me know if you would like pictures.

Always remember this equation for cheap old MBs: price paid - 50% of price paid + 25% of money spent on repairs = the end value of the car, which all future buyers will tell you is too high. This equation will change if you do work yourself -- it would incorporate the projected amount of injuries, and whether any will be incapacitating.
