Hello,

Has anyone dealt with Country Classics in Staunton, Il? They have a couple of w114/115s available.

I'm a bit wary of buying a car long distance (I'm near Boston.) Any tips besides find someone near the car look at it?

TIA,

Peter

I inquired about a non-MB last summer.

They didn't seem to know what the heck they were talking about and the price was unrealistic. They tried to tell me the car was original, but the picture showed a paint color that was never available for that year. I even pulled out my 1970 paint chart to double check...

I tend to stay away from the old car dealers, but I've heard good things about Duffy's in Iowa, Yesterday's Autos in Mpls, MN and a few others.

You're better off finding a car through the MB club, local paper, Hemmings Motor news that is close enough for you to inspect.

That's kind of the feeling I got from them when I called a few months ago.

I'll definitely check out the local MB club. Thanks for the other tips.

Peter
