Beautiful W210!

I am mixed on the W210 because they are nice cars (I own one...) but man do they rust. Around here even a mint nice one like that would be rusting to pieces after 3-4 winters. If I lived in a warm place I'd probably still own one as my primary driver. the post 2003 cars are SO much more rust resistant. My GLK has now been through 4 winters, not a spec on it. My brother and dad's W211's, virtually nothing, and they are 10-13 years old.

Hard to beat the power/torque of the newer diesels though.
