My '96 900 SE has zero rust at all. Neither does my '95 9000 CS. It's odd, that I don't have any at all, I mean ZERO, and I live in the Boston area where they salt heavily and frequently. I also had no rust (except for a spot where it got hit) on my old '90 900 S, which I bought new and kept until 2000. On my Mercedes, however, its a different story. The ol' '88 420 SEL was starting to get bad (got rid of it 2 years ago). The really old '82 250 was pretty bad too. Nothing on the '98 E320 yet (knock on wood).
