Sorry I missed it. I did see a handful, but not very many. Mostly I saw them in Heidelberg, and on the A5, between Heidelberg and Frankfurt. I did get passed by one on the B38, but caught up to him at a light. I also saw one or two in Weinheim.
The trouble is these cars are rather large for a good amount of the roads there. I couldn't begine to imagine having to drive around with a W126 or W140 - I think the W220 is a little smaller, but still large compared to the majority of cars there.
The cul-de-sac that I was on, had one C180 and one A class (I forget what model). There are only 12 houses on our street there, so that is a nice ratio. Just around the corner from there, I spotted a W123 280CE. It was in Rimbach that I saw the W126 SEC (it was for sale). There was a C220D for sale with about 161k km for sale for €7000 including a new catalyst and soot filter (500 less w/o new cat and filter).
