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

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

I added a 88k mile 2014 GLK250 to the fleet today

Will be picking it up over next couple of days.

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

Tell her to go easy on it, given that it's still in the break-in period...

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.
