Also - be aware that many (most) modern junkyards will not let you go walking through the yard or to pull your own parts. They are more of a "Used Parts Store", where you just walk up to the counter and tell them what you are looking for. I try to avoid those places whenever possible, as their prices tend to be higher.

In your area, there is probably 1 or more junkyards that specialize in "foreign" cars - those may be your best bet for older MB parts.

The Pick-N-Pull type places give you full access to the yard, which can be good if they have the part you are looking for, but they are much less likely to have a good selection of MB parts, in my experience.

Junkyard operators are also tend to be notoriously grouchy.
