I just bought a 210 last week, and since you are from New Jersey, if you buy a local car, pay close attention to rust. I found one from the Cleveland area and did notice some rust which figured into the price we negotiated. I brought it straight to the shop and pulled the bumpers and rocker panel mouldings off and found quite a bit more rust than I ever imagined. It is a good thing I addressed it now rather than in the spring as it would have gotten MUCH worse by then. Always remember,,, any rust you see peeking around mouldings or bumpers is probably just the tip of the iceberg. It also has a leaking tranny that I still have to address. The car only has 62 K on it so I do expect to get some serious service out of it yet. How it will compare to my 95 ?,,,, time will tell. I really wanted the heated seats and memory seats.
