MB Parts prices

Ernie Sparks 6 May 2005 07:32:37
 Every time I go to my local MB stealer I get another shock on parts pricing
on older models. The cruise control module for my '81 300D is over $900 and
is nothing more than a single component board. Anyone know where to get one
of those testers that simply plugs onto the 10-pin connector?
Also, those little check valves in the vacuum system near the firewall (mine
has two) are now over $40 each. Can't be more than 6 cents worth of plastic
in those things. Time to hit the dismantlers and stock up on some parts.
What I don't use I can probably retire on by hitting eBay.

 I buy my parts online... a whole lotta cheaper than dealer... I basically
pays what dealer pays for their parts... otherwise, it is wholesale prices.

Rebuilt cruise controls are sold by three companies... all listed at
mbcoupes.com under parts supplier.

 There are several on-line parts vendors - not as cheap as salvage yards,
but their parts are new.

Also, several cruise control rebuilders are available as well.

 These guys will help you troubleshoot and also are rebuilders of
several electronic MB pieces. http://www.gdl-onli­ne.com/begin.html
Good luck,

 Buying parts at the dealership, unless you're in the trade, is like going
grocery shopping at the airport . . . make that Narita Airport . . .
Dealership economics is complex, and MBUSA's "retail" price reflects enough
margin incentive to encourage the dealerships to maintain a reasonably
stocked parts department. If a dealership is charging over the MSRP for
parts, then that's just being greedy.
