The C Class Mercedes is far from rare. The fact that it has a six speed manual 
makes it quite unique, but parts availability should be no problem.

Why do people want rare cars?
I personally want the most generic vehicle out there.  More parts
availability, lots of information to repair them etc. I have a Ford F150
and my wife drives a Honda Accord. They are about as not rare as you can
get.
I doubt there are other drivers looking at us and thinking , "poor
devils. Their vehicles are not rare".

Yeah I'd be very interested in that if not for the extensive rust. Probably a

I believe checking the torque at center and off center would give you 
an idea of how much wear is on the SEL box, and you can adjust it off
