@@tonychavez2083 my buddy says the same thing. I like them both, but I get what you're saying. The 210 is a bit more understated and "stealth" if I could put it that way.
I've had mine for years. No rust problems for those models assembled in Malaysia as the metal used was treated and galvanized. Malaysia is humid and we're surrounded by the sea. Rust can be a problem. Tue W210 is a wonderful car. Performs well, is economical and so very comfortable. I used to think that my 1995 W124 was as good as it got, until I drove the W210.
My Dad had a 2002 W210, had over 310k miles on it by the time it died in ~2015. Rust of course. I spent countless hours in that car with my Dad, safe, comfortable, happy. One day I'll buy one of these cars just to have. If there are any left in a few years due to rust. RIP LM02 WCW.
SR Builders they’re great cars and can be had for cheap. My dad had the e220 cdi which is pretty much an invincible engine. Get one with not much rust and it’s a great car
@@srbuilders1370 my 210 e-class is 22 years old, mint and rust free. There are lots around and imo, absolutely worth it. Get one with less than 200k. Timeless, classy, cool and turns heads when it's clean & polished. -oh yeah. Even the e320 has lots of jam in sport/summer mode (though the e55 is a monster). I'll never be without one.
I bought a 1999 w210 chassis, E 300 TD, inline 6 98,000 orig miles, Not Kilometers, body and chassis very very clean. Paid decent money for it,... So,... I guess did I score than based on what I am reading.? Could srnd you pictures for giggles if you like.
@@garethifan1034 the south has quite a few of them still running around or sitting due to electrical issue(mine currently wont send power to fuel pump lmao, hardwired it with switch and fuse) but none down here have rust issues.
Just got myself a e320 CDI Avantgarde, and my god its mint - I live in Sweden, so it's a surprice its fresh.. might be a wake up call? Ofc it has minor rust on the door side, but not more than that
My Father had a Taxi company here in germany all the way from the late 70s until a few years ago. I remember him ranting about how bad they were compared to the predecessors..
These cars didn’t come with keyless entry. Seeing as you have to press the button on the key means it’s not keyless. Keyless entry came about in 2000 on the w220 S class. It started as an optional credit card like device you kept in your wallet. As you approved the car it would recognize this device and would allow the carrier to unlock the car by simply grabbing the handle of any door. Then to start you press the brake and press a start stop button which on earth models was on shifter selector. These old style flip keys still have to be ordered and programmed at the dealer and they are still around 500 bucks all said and done.
Why the hell isn't the air filter permanently in use? And why, why should I need to unlock the car with the remote if I accidentally locked the doors after getting inside? What is the purpose of that? Oh Mercedes! You forgot about simplicity of use!
daniel peixoto martins,, you have nice question...........suppose you locked your car and left ... someone trying to start and get away with it... it means the car will not start without the key.. am I right?.... germans are brilliant
Not a Mercedes thing. Jaguars and Rovers had the same feature. It was an early version of the immobilizer which used the remote's rolling code to prevent theft by hot wiring. Since most people used the remote to lock and unlock, it was seamless unless as stated you accidentally pressed the lock button after you got in the car.
I'll never be without a w210/211 e-class.
These cars are timeless.
I almost want to sell my 211 to go back to a 210....

Mine is rust free. So there is still hope.
I'm lucky to have one with almost no rust which is a miracle ... However my trans is fucked

Great info Thx
We enjoy our 210 - e320 wagon immensely !
Watched this in my 210😊
Must be nice
Just bought my first 210 (1997), wish me luck, this summer i'm planning to restore it !!!!!!
Are you restored your car?
These ones are literally tanks
Can be bought for pennies today because of rust problems..very nice and good car otherwise.

I got one for £1000 ….. full Mercedes service history ……. Everything on the car works faultlessly but yes rust an issue
Es lo malo de vivir en el norte de europa…😂😂😂😂😂
Best car, love it!!!
Im going outside to try out my headlight washers, never knew the thing was there.
awesome and we are greatful
these would give any 70s car a good run for there money when it comes to rust
Tengo 1 mes que compré mi E320 Elegance W210 del año 2002 con 159,000 kilómetros. A disfrutarlo 💪👍🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Didn’t mention anything about rust protection, which was a big demise of many W210’s !
My 97 e320 has been in Houston Texas all of its 23 years and there is zero rust. And has not been garaged either, so there you go.
Just got myself a e320 CDI Avantgarde, and my god its mint - I live in Sweden, so it's a surprice its fresh.. might be a wake up call?

Unfortunately guys, in colder climates these were prone to rust, really BAD ! However, this is one of my favourite E-Class.

@@ohyeahbabyitson who is your mechanic? Or do you do repairs yourself?

انهم الالمان يا سادة
Only if 🤞🤞🤞it wasn't rust it would be one of the greatest Mercedes of our time. Well, unfortunately the reality speaks differently 😕
22 years and not a speck of rust (yet).

What happens if the charcoal air filter is full do you get a notification ?
No it should be changed every B service.
Also Q are these a pair of filters or just 1 ?
Change every 2 years.
Second video?
Хорошо было бы если русский перевод был хотя бы субтитры
My 99 has 280,000 on it so far.
How can I get the keyless entry remote replaced

Oh Mercedes! You forgot about simplicity of use!
As I understand the cabin air filters are always in use but the charcoal filters are user selected. That's why there are 2 sets of cabin filters.

A carbon filter is ineffectual above a certain humidity level so using it constantly is not desirable
@@JahinIinI oh. Ok. Didn't knew that. Thanks.
