I could probably stretch to a W210 but I don't think I'd get a good one (i.e. rust free) for the price I'd be willing to pay and looking at insurance for them it doesn't seem to much given my age (21). ...

I think you should really go for something non-Mercedes, if you are looking for an old banger. There are so many cars out there that are £1000 and under that ...
