I had a 400E from Pittsburgh two years ago that looked as nice as this car on the outside, and EVERY fastener, brake and fuel line and detachable component under the car was rusty. Calipers frozen, brake and fuel lines leaking, rear subframe rusted out, yada, yada, yada. Salt ruined the car, but the body itself and the paint still looked great, very little rust on the bodyshell itself. Be very careful with salt belt W124s.

I much prefer my rustfree, garaged, southern W124 trio.....

Jim
