Hi,

Just wondered what you guys thought of this 420 se.

I am putting my 190 up for sale at the end of the week (which is my second car) and fancy an upgrade. What do you think. Money pit or 6 month of wafting about for very little? Quite fancy it!

One thing for sure the body will need quite a lot of work in the very near future. they are very good cars if you are not worried on that count

I've heard that the area around the rear screens often rust. I have a friend who knows a good, cheap body shop, so it might be feasible. How much for a repair to the rear screen and wheelarches? Why do I keep wanting to add to my cheap Mercedes collection! The blue would make a nice addition to my current Smoke Silver collection!

If the work is only cosmetic, that's a lot of car for the money.

I've got a 420se which I'm going to sell as SWMBO has decided it's too long . It's mint with no rust, but I'll be wanting a lot more than £500!
