I just bought a 1998 a few weeks ago and have already put 2000 miles on it. My impressions? 10 times better than a w123 and 5 times better than a w124.

Rust not an issue down here - mine's got none.
No cracked dashboard on mine.
Catalytic converter very solid.
Spring perches excellent.
No leaks.

I have some clearcoat peeling on the doorframe - why, I have no idea. My wagon was always garaged. All fluids have been changed regularly - it runs great. I wish I'd bought a w210 earlier - find a real good one because they're out there.
