Do you think that you can get 400k out of it?

As of right now I don't see why not.

I'll be passing the 350 on to the step daughter in the next town over.

Well after closer inspection of the vehicle I walked away from it and got my deposit back. It has been on the beach too much for me. I won't purchase one if it has been in salt and is showing rust on all the fasteners.

You would not be happy with any used cars which lived above the Mason-Dixon Line. When I was a kid living in a northern state, I went shopping for cheap wheels, and was bowled over by a shiny blue 1969 Ford Mustang convertible for sale. Looked great...until I opened the trunk lid and found holes in the trunk floor flanking the gas tank...

Long time ago I had a guy from DC bring a w123 wagon to me. Any bolts/nuts you touched under that car either broke or had to have a lot of heat on it to disassemble it. I don't need that kind of headache.

Just a way of life at the beach. Somehow my w212 is spotless, despite having its entire life here. I just assume the POs took pretty good care of it (guy I bought it from did). The newer mercs seem to have pretty good corrosion resistance. I dont think I have seen many w211-onward mercs with as mucb as a rotted fender.
