Well, I was around when they were new cars, not nearly 40 years old. Compared to other cars back then they were as good as it got.

I have one rust free w123 wagon from Texas. But most are far from it. And unless they are wagons are extremely worthless. The price when new was far from good as it got too. My first 85 300td had a 35,000 window sticker. Bonkers.

I suggest you name a car that was better for rust than a 123 Mercedes in 1982.
