rust? you serious? i don't think i've ever seen a rusty german car thats newer than about 1995?

i thought rust was something of the past now-a-days

as far as i've seen, mainly a140 and ml270's then i'm not impressed at all. however i've worked on a 54 plate ml and the build quality is deffo better than the older examples. just little things like when you knock the wing, does it sound nice and solid or does it go ting and leave a small dent!?

p.s. i think the a140 is THE worst car i've ever been out in. - and trust me i've been out in some shit.

Yes, rust. Corrosion was a serious problem on the late nineties/early 2 thousands Mercs...

i never ever thought they would be this bad. i always get told by mrs and her dad that fords are shit cos they rust and arent built well btu how much is a ford compared to a merc? the build quality may not be as good but the value for money is loads better on fords, vauxhalls and even the frenchies compared to the german cars.
