Britax Marathon for $197? Is this a good deal?

A local salvage place has a Britax Marathon in the Emma cover for $197. That's with tax.
The box had been opened, but the plastic bag around it hadn't. I checked the manufacture date and it said Feb 2010. Everything about it looks brand new.

I didn't buy it--I wanted to check here and see if y'all thought that was a good deal!
We aren't in dire need of a new seat, but will need one sometime in the next few months. So I could wait on a new seat if there are some good sales coming up. I'm not tied to a marathon, either. We have a TrueFit in one car and we're still using her Chicco infant seat in the other car. She'll outgrow the Chicco in another couple of months, though.

Thanks for any help!

I bought my MA Emma about 3 months ago from Diapers.com for $170 and that included the tax and free shipping. So i think you can find a better deal. The Emma is a CS and they are discontinued, so they are clearanced big time right now! I got mine in 2 days! And the DOM is Jan 2010.

Baby catalog has a marathon for $209. If you price matched diapers.com, and used bing, you could get it for $189. If you've never ordered, you could get it for even less because you could use the first time discounts (10% first order, $10 referral + $5 off second order, $10 magazine rebate). Either way, you'll be able to find a marathon for about the same price when you need it. And diapers.com seems to have relatively recent DOMs. When I ordered my Britax, the DOM was about a week old...
