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.

Hard to say. Nothing still running that hadn't been rebuilt. My 85 Monte Carlo ss is pretty rust free. Definitely better than my 85 300td was when it went away. The rubber and interior are a different story on the gm.

Its hard isn't it?

Trust me nothing was better built in 82 or before that held up against rust better.
