To be correct they don't call themselves junk yard but auto dismantler.

theres a place here called all bimmers and benzes, and they do charge way higher prices than the junkyards. even though they are a junkyard too. I didnt look at your link first to see it was a w210. you will not find those in pick n pull in san antonio. You are limited to a wide variety of w126 and w123 mostly. I have come across some intersting ones though. I have seen a manual trans w126, lots of euro cars including one w126 that had crank and manual everything, velour seats and a nasty green color. ive even seen a c126 500sec amg! too bad the po tool lousy care of it.

I was there the other day and there is a fairly nice 1991 300CE - Black - looks like owned by an elderly couple from a random photo found inside - I didn't need anything from it - but took note of the windshield since my 86 300E windscreen has a crack that doesn't NEED replacing, but I may anyway just because

I second the thought that most of what I find is 126 and 123's - but as time goes by they should be getting some of the old 124's in too.

Anyone in SA want to meet up there and scavenge together I'd be up for helping get some of the big stuff (like an engine or trans) if someone needs it - I like to play in the junkyard Send me a PM.
