I think there is too much rust. That is difficult if not impossible to fix correctly, and around the jack holes there is serious safety issues with it.

That's what I thought. I even told to the owner that it was a huge mistake not even covering the car, but just let it rot like that in the open. Some people shouldn't even allowed to have a car and unfortunately there are many of them around

Now, I have read there are more Mercedes per number of people in Albania than any other country in Europe.

I bet my Merc
, that we have more mercs per capita than any country in the world and not only europe

I have also read that one reason was that many were stolen, most of them from Germany. Do you believe that is true? Tirana is supposed to have Mercedes everywhere to be seen, on the roads all over the country, and I read that in "Mercedes Enthusiast" (British car magazine) also besides hearing it some other place.

Not all of them are stolen, but there were many of them. There have been many checks by the police and most of the stolen cars have been impounded. There are a lot of stolen cars, not only mercs, but not as many as before.
I remember hearing in the news that from all the BWM X5s in Albania only a handful were not stolen and we do have a lot of X5s over here.

So you could probably find another one that is better, easily.

I doubt it. Not in a good condition and not a 500 sel. There are a lot of 200d, 250d, 250d turbos, then 200e and that's it. 260e and larger engined mercs are very very rare here as no one buys them because of the expansive fuel and most of the people are very misinformed about lpg.
I guess I'll have to look for a 300e. Hopefully I'll find a '90 300e m104 , 231ps and 7000 rpm redline [fingers crossed]
.
Thanks a lot for the thoughts!
