I think the best weapon you have in this fight to get the good Benz is time and patience. The buyer who is in a position to walk always gets the best car in the end.

I very much agree with this. The worst part is dealing with the emotional roller coaster of finding something that looks good the learning it’s sold or trying to deal with a seller who is remote.
I just found what I think is a beautiful 63 200 in my immediate area, but the seller is Hispanic and won’t respond to anyone making inquiries in English. I’m struggling to find a Spanish speaking person to act as a go-between just to get some basic information to find out if what I’m seeing is actually what they have for sale.
