Hello:

I'm already an owner of two Benzes--an '84 300D Turbodiesel and a '95 E320, and looking to replace my daily driver 2002 Honda Accord whose transmission may be about to go.
I've had my eye on a W210 model E320 and wanted to ask all of you your opinions on this car--I'm looking to make this a daily driver and need a car with no drama to serve me in rain, snow and sunshine, and for driving on occasional long road trips.
I know that rust is an issue on W210s so I'm looking for low mileage, rust-free cars. As an owner of two older MBs, I've heard that newer MBs aren't as well made or reliable.
So how are these W210s as daily drivers? Are they fairly easy to work on? I have done a fair amount of work on my current MBs so I'm not afraid to turn a wrench.
Are there any years in this model range that are better than others?
I'd appreciate any opinions and advice.
