I believe in Canada you could have cloth seats, manual climate control ETC. as opposed to USA where those were not even optional.

You can see a decal reading "Mercedes-Benz Japan" on the rear window glass in the last photo of the ad (the photo of the trunk) directly above the trunk light. It's tiny but it's there!
I attached the photo in case they finally sell the car after all this time and the craigslist ad goes away.
The japanese-used-car Mercedes imports aren't that uncommon - I probably see one a week around here.
Canada did not have cloth seats or manual climate control. Everything we got here (at least during the W201 / W124 time period, mid 80s - mid 90s) was the same as the US models. In the past few years, we've gotten a few different models though (e.g. the diesel smart and the B class).
