I've got a '90 W124 that was originally a Canadian chassis AND IT'S GOT
NONE of that Corrosion anywhere!

Of course, the Canadians have a different approach to Winter Road Precipitation
Control... (They don't Flush Everything in sight with SALT !)

But,still, the underside of the exemplar chassis in your pictures has been sadly
Un-Cared for for many Winters!

If the Previous Owner(S) have lavished so little on the Underside,Great chance they have also Neglected Everything Else, Too!
