| If own a 1986 fully galvanized 300e. I believe that was the first Mercedes to be fully galvanized. I do know it it 21 years old in the same family for 17 and the car has almost NO rust. It will last around 40-60 years my guess. Here are some pictures of a 500e that sure odes interest me. Look at the paint! Mine has been repainted due to chips and dull not rust. I will take years for the confidence is back in this brand. A friend of mine owns a new SL and was embarrassed when it was pointed out how bad his paint was. |
