Angry 1997 E420 with multiple RUST problems
I just bought a 1997 E420 w/ 105,000 miles. The thing I cannot understand is why a only 9 year old mercedes already has 6 bad rust spots?? 2 really bad spots on the trunk, 1 on driver's front wheelwell, and multiple spots by the footwells.

Does MB fix these by any chance?? I'm sure this won't be cheap if I go to a bodyshop.. argh

car drives absolutely great though

I have a 97 with no rust and a 02 with a small rust spot on the trunk. The spot on the 02 was small and easily fixed.

E320CDI, CLK55, and a Smart
Also check the door seals. I bet there is rust there too.
