Various Mercs come and go
Just got back from the Top Car auction at Blackbushe, as I had a client who wanted to buy a Range Rover.

Whilst waiting for the chosen Range Rover to come through I had a look at the 8 different CL's for sale.......7x500's and one 600......ages starting from W reg through to 52's.

All had pretty low mileages, but everyone of them had rust starting at the bottom of the C pillar where it joins the crease.....some worse than others, the worst being a nasty rusty scab with crusty metal underneath.

All but one also had rusty rear wheel arches where the front of the rear arch meets the lower side panel.....two of cars being particularly nasty, ie it had spread from the arch to the side panel and the arch itself was crusty metal......this on a 5 year old car:eek:

Truly shocking and really sad as they are such beautiful cars.......so its not just the 210's then:(
