Hello technical sages,

Just wanted a take on the undercarriage rust on a W124 that's for sale on a site I won't mention here . *ahem* I hear that the suspension bits underneath have to be rusted pretty bad for it to cause practical problems, but that rust underneath can make wrenching on the car a pain in the ass. How do these photos look? I highlighted two of the worst areas.

History: one owner, 90-some-odd-k legit miles, Carfax shows five or six years of daily use followed by many years of light use. I just need another Benz to torture me, since my Fiesta doesn't break often enough.

Mods, if this is the wrong sub-forum, don't hesitate to move the thread.

Thanks,

Rex.
