Hello and welcome
Whilst your in the boot, remove the plastic liners from both sides and check for rust on the rear arches. Check the heater motor works and also the lecky windows. The rears especially Stu |

Welcome Chris The Haywood
Also worht popping off the rear most boot liner that covers the boot slam panel (comes off easily) you can get some patchy rust underneath it. But best & simplest buying advice, if the shell is mint, all else can be fixed Still, the less work you have to do the better! Have you a particular model in mind? engine size/transmission/colour etc

cheers for that dave will be sure to check there.... i'm wanting the 1.8 manual, not bothered on colour as i'm owed a favour by my buddy who owns his own bodyshop so it'll be going black eventually... i quite fancy this one... http://z14.invisionfree.com/mercedes_190_c...showtopic=10167 just trying to sort out a way of getting it back and sorting my finances out to go get it. i'm hoping it hasn't sold by the time i'm sorted. |
