So I'm hoping to buy one of these cars, and I will be looking (and hopefully test driving) at both of them over the weekend. What are some tell tale signs that I should look/listen for with these cars that might point to some obvious problems? Oh...and all other things being equal, which one do you guys think would make the better daily driver, and easiest to maintain?

 

Oh, and the 300D is a european model

 

Beware the rust worm.... check out your rides for rust. Lift up the floor mats and get under the car. I didn't and my driver's seat is literally falling thru the floor. I love the car and have restored many parts of it... but you can't stop the rust once it's on. Good luck. I hope you finda good one and fall in love with MB as much as I have.
