Larry Bible should be able to elaborate on this post.

I had 310k on my '85 300D and my mechanic told me that the worse thing about the whole car was that since it was up here in Michigan for all of it's life, the body was gonn'a rust around the engine. It still ran strong and didnt use hardly any oil (3/4 qt every 3000 miles).
