@SamTheGeek @Nir_Kahn Mine aren’t early noughties, but the models were on their last year of production:

1️⃣ #W203 #C-Class 2006. Discontinued that year. 149,000 miles from new.
2️⃣ #W211 #E-Class 2007. Discontinued that year. 89,000 miles from new.

Both drive and operate like new and are inexpensive to maintain.

Won’t mention rust, since living in SoCal, with very low humidity, nothing rusts here. It wouldn’t be a fair assessment.
