I have been slow this past week, and have been cruising some of the "local" self-serve yards.

1 1991 300E condition unknown
LKQ in Kalamazoo, MI

LKQ in South Bend, IN
1 560SEL missing many parts
3 190E ('85/'89/'88 IIRC) various but fairly complete
1 300E missing many parts
1 300D/123 1981 engine complete missing some interior
1 1972-1974 280SE (from what the buyer could remember) not yet in the yard, purchased today. Says complete non-running, trim very good and body little rust.
Pick A Part in Fort Wayne, IN
3 420SEL ('86, 87, 89) from complete to missing some parts
2 300E ('86 & '89) missing some parts
1 190E 1991 fairly complete
(just crushed a fintail
)
The Pick A Part in FW, IN is new just 3 months ago, and seems undiscovered by M-B people. He is at a point where he needs to crush cars that are not being picked at, so I'm hoping that the Mercedes cars will start to get some action, which will prompt him to keep them a little longer, and buy more M-Bs.
The LKQ in South Bend is also new (end of 2010), buys a lot of cars from the Chicago area, so I'm hoping that he will also see value in buying Mercedes cars.
As things are slow lately, I could entertain pulling parts for other forum members, but the prospect of shipping large parts doesn't appeal to me.
