By your description, this is definitely be a European delivery car; it had MB tex seats and pushbutton climate controls.

I suspect the guy is going to think about whether or not to sell it for a few days. I think he is attached to the car, understandably so. If he says he'll sell it, though, I'll be over there the same day with cash in hand

...A MB European delivery program car was built specifically with the intent of meeting US regs after cruising around for a few weeks in Europe. It was built with all the wonderful features that you have become acquainted on your 300D:

Pushbutton climate control
EGR
MB tex seats
Ridiculous US DOT lighting standards

This sort of car still had to meet German law that requires a safety marker that can be displayed in the event of a breakdown. You may also (hopefully) see a service record performed at 1000 miles somewhere in Europe (my part car got its first service in Heidelburg).
