Most MB cars made after about 1982 don't seem to suffer any ill effects from the road salt.

Our road-crews use copious amounts of salt, and I have yet to see anything other than an obviously abused MB from W126 on with rust.

Wash it often, and if you do need body work make sure you use Mercedes factory parts, as jobber parts will rust in about five minutes, salt or no salt.
