Like a few others have said on this forum, if it is reliable, I intend to look after & keep my 300c for quite a few years. In the past I have resorted to aftermarket anti-rust wax under the floor & in the sills & doors to keep a car corrosion free, but many new cars are galvanised, or have alloy hoods, doors etc.
The last thing I want is in 7 years time the rust to start big time!
I know I have seen a few ropey / rusty looking E-class Mercs at 7 or 8 years old, although I think I saw recently that Merc now offer a 30 year warranty on bodywork.

Hi Just
I'm sorry that I can't help you on the galvanised steel front ! However most of the panels seem to be made from plastic (but I may be wrong !)
