I agree that the C55 is a mouth watering prospect but takes me some way away from where I need to be regarding running costs etc.!OP . It's good that you have noted the rusty sub frame issue because the model you are looking at W204 is the worst culprit for 'invisible' dangerous sub frame rot. The earlier (W203's) don't generally have a problem in this area.
Happy hunting and good luck.
P.S the advice in post #8 regarding a C55 with a M113 engine is valid. But unless it is a Jap import , been previously restored or a garage queen. Rust will be lurking in the bodywork .
