I was shopping as a noob about a year ago and picking brains here too....a real smart thing to do. My advice:

-look at lots of them. lots. don't buy the first one you find if it has any issues
-I'm in AZ, cars don't rust here, but MBZ's do. And rust never sleeps. There is always more than there appears to be.
-lowball your price..everybody thinks their old benz's value has gone thru the roof because they're "perfect for a greasecar conversion"
-find a good indy and have a pre-purchase inspection. It's worth the hundred or so you'll pay many times over.
