Anything that wasn't nailed down to tight.

Serious now.

Lotsa interior stuff like switches, doorpanels, seats and mats
if they are is OK shape.

The half shafts, cause if you have a place where they rebuild
them you'll be way cheaper off than with new ones.
My napa partsplace can have them rebuild for $58 a piece.
I'm not paying $300+ for new ones.

Tail light and head light assemblies, front directionals assemblies
and wind shields.

Brake calipers.

Anything you think you might need that could break or wear out.

I'm not a vet with the Mercedes, but for my part I second the climate control ($$), switches, wood trim. Seats if they aren't shot (they probably are). Also, door interior (regulator, window motor) especially the driver's. The kind of stuff that those of us with daily drivers would love to fix, but can't justify spending $$ on new. The critical engine/drive train stuff I would just buy new unless it's obscenly expensive.
