I just bought a used '98 W210, with a black interior. It's got two of three small cracks in the dash, mostly around the vents and one on the passenger airbag cover. I don't know if the car was garaged in its past life or not.

By contrast, my mother has a '99 that she bought new with a tan interior, and has always been garaged from Texas sun. The interior is as good as the day it was new.

Cheers, John
