You all have helped me purchase a 1998 E300 TurboDiesel back in September 2002 and now I have the opportunity to look at a 1985 300 SD with about 150,000 miles and am asking for your help again. I will have the car in my possession tomorrow evening for several hours of driving and inspection. I would appreciate any particulars to look for. I would also appreciate comments on this particular year and model.

Where specifically to look for rust? I believe this car has been in Maryland for most of it's life and garaged for all but the last 2 years.

Any feedback will be most appreciated.
