Never buy a car from the "rust belt"
Ebay is a good place to find southern cars and sometimes at a good price but you end up competing with others for your prize. If you want one relatively cheap do this: got any friends/relatives etc. in warm places? TX?AZ?FLA? Houston and Dallas, TX seem to have many used MB's. Southwest flys most places cheap. Go there get the local paper, Autotrader, etc. and go look at all the cars you are interested in a 200-300mile radius. Chances are pretty good you will find what you want in about a week. This whole trip could cost about $1000 if you had to stay at a motel and rent a car. $1000 is nothing compared to what it costs to have rust fixed. Buy one rust free and don't look back. RT
