I'm in north central Illinois. That's exactly the advice I was looking for. The C220 seat I found is supposed to be in perfect shape, and at $50 it's certainly cheap enough. I haven't been able to locate a good W126 seat but I did find one from a later, 1998 S-Class. Would it be as good as my 300 se seat?
