Hi there,
sorry if this is in the wrong section, im new on here and my current car is a tuned 855 t5 volvo.
Im not new to merecdes had a f reg mk2 190 as my 1st merc quite a few years ago, i've had
w201 190 2.0 carb
w201 190e 2.6
w124 260e 2.6 saloon
w126 380sel ex dubai embassy only had 24k on her and won a concours trophy at mercedes day at Brooklands
w126 420 se
c126 500 sec Bright yellow with deep dish louriner wheels
Also had a wdb201 c180 manual. then i got into Volvo's but am looking to returning to the fold.
I'm obviously aware of the rust issues which the later mercs suffer from but am searching for a wdb210 e430 estate or e55 estate, these prefebably must have 7 seats as ive 5 kids lol.
What other issues do these models suffer from? ive heard of a few e430's giving gearbox trouble? same as c43's. is the box on the e55 the same or stronger?
Thankyou for taking the time to read this long winded intro and looking forward to some advice.
Best wishes merc85/Gav Harwich
