There was a fairly long period when the 1995 124 wagon (last year of the 124) was really the only thing available for the Roadside Assistance Program (RAP wagon is what we referred to them as). It was awhile before the 210 wagon came out and by then we knew the ML was in the works (recall they had to build the plant in Alabama). Most dealers stretched out the 95 wagons until the ML was out, so around 3 years or so.
So I could relate a few instances where the battery had gotten swapped in to a customers car, because the dealership was closed or whatever, just to bail out a good customer in a pinch.
The RAP wagons were white, so when you said you had a 95 wagon, if it was a white one, the possiblity is there it is an ex-RAP wagon, might explain the battery situation. I would assume if this is the case that the customers battery would then be swapped out for a new one once the RAP wagon was back at the dealer.
