2005 Mercedes SLK-Class Review:
After 3 years I have rusty bolts around the engine and all 20 lug nuts are rusting. This car has 29,000 miles on it and has been kept in a closed garage all its life.
It has never been on a salt water beach or a fresh water beach. Has anyone else had this rust problem? I think Mercedes goofed on the electrolsis protection of this car or used inferior bolts and lug nuts.
