He was correct. There's nothing in the Mercedes metallurgy, gaskets or hoses that makes it incompatible with common green coolant that works in every other car on the road. This is just another myth MB forums love to perpetuate because they heard it from a dealer.

That said I would have done the same thing and walked away because the seller was rude.
