That is correct. The SD is a larger car, with a body style like the 380SE/SEL and 500SEL, although a shorter wheelbase than the SEL. As far as problems, I think the blower motors are a common problem. As far as rust, as with any older Mercedes that was a northern car, the floors seem to be the a area prone to rust on northern cars. I live in the south, where rust is not a problem on about any car, but I have heard about this rust and seen northern Mercedes on E-Bay. Other than that, these cars will last many, many miles, especially if well maintained.
