Just joined the w210 rust club

[aka$h]

Ive just bought a load lugger, a E300 Turbodiesel estate with 137,000 on the clock. Its got a file of paper work and has been very well maintained (mechanically).

The car however has a LOT of rust:
Front of Bonnet
Both Front Wings
All the tops of the doors have some rust, and one is rotten and needs changing
Roof, a patch at the front and 2 bits near the tailgate.

The car has a full service history but its MB unit 2003 and specialist thereafter. Its registered in 1997, which means no mobilo cover. Is it even worth me trying to get a contribution from MB?

Photo's to follow.

No way as it can be said that you saw that before you bought it
