    I have a 2003 CLK 430. I noted a rust spot at the lower portion of the passenger door.When I brought it in to the dealer for further inspection, it was discovered that the rust had spread along the bottom of the passenger door, much to my horror. I am being quoted $1500 for rust repair or $3K for a new door. The car only has 35K miles on it - I am very upset. I bought the car in November 2011. Is this a common problem?

    stim141: I need your help please!

    I came across this thread and wanted to seeking your advise on a pressing issue that I have.

    My car: Merc E-320 2001 model with 75K miles; have taken good care till now.

    First time in the morning I always start the car and wait 45-60 secs before I move to let the fluids circulate.

    My Issues:

    Fundamental questions –
    a) Does it seem that I have a transmission problem?
    b) Is it advisable to get a second opinion?
    c) Is it advisable to go ahead with tearing the transmission down (without being 100% sure of the problem) and replacing any defective parts? If that is done by a reputed dealer, can I hope to get the transmission back in shape just the way the factory ones are?

    I have posted complete detaisl here:
