I purchased the car new and have never had any body work performed on the car. I live in Eastern PA, so not as much bad weather as you get, but salt is applied to the roads from time to time. Thanks for your input.

You're welcome.
We should stay in touch as these cars age.
I did buy the the 7 yr warranty at the time of purchase but have not needed it.
My dealer here is very attentive to service bulletins, etc. and has been terrific.
M-B has dealer funds for good will and may offer a buy out your car or contribute to a better trade-in allowance.
Cannot hurt to ask.

I have a 2002 S430 that was purchased in August 2008 with 67528 miles and I have rust on three of the four doors. I took it to the Mercedes dealer where they looked up my Vin # and told me that this car had been recalled to have the doors re sealed in 2005. At this point I can only take there word for it. However, if it had been recalled and the doors re sealed and I am still experiencing rust should Mercedes be responsible for the workmanship and make it right. This is quite a sight seeing this car being driven around with rust on the doors. I am looking at $2200 to have this repaired. One body shop told me that they heard of the doors being replaced by MB.
Please advise!
