OEM Merc?

Well i have seen some parts on EBay but i think for something like what your looking for its going to have to be the dealer. Not many places stock OEM stuff and the parts your looking for are not going to be popular so that would reduce the chances even more.

Unfortunately the best bet here mate is the dealer if you think the one if over charging and some do i know then try another dealer see what they say.

the thebenzbin.com are worth a try. please give feedback on your dealings with them. they seems to have a good parts list on site although I've not dealt with them personally.

an example. I paid $240 for brake pads, they say list is $155 and they sell for 147$. like you said the dealers seem to rape most people on part prices.

Default That's true the rip people with their prices!

I bought the front black wings that are needed for the bumper conversion and I saw the cost of the part was $51.00 and they charged me $141.00 plus tax for each one so total was $282.00 plus tax for two little plastics. I know they have charge more but the triple????

check with different dealers. Also include your location and and car stuff in your profile.

If you are having a bad/good experience with your dealer, please write about it in the dealer review section we have on the site. this way if anyone else needs help in your area, they know what to expect.

They are charging you way too much there go to a different dealer markups should not be more than tens of dollars, hundreds is overkill and since your buying a few parts at the same time i would expect the markup to be lower.

as far as i know, the amg front bumper is about $2,200.. the side skirts can go as low as $530 here in the los angeles area.. i love the amg side skirt so much but the bumpers (front n back) are way too over-priced..

bout GLAUSERBENZ, yNot is right, i once order the small antenna there and mentioned about the discount and they gave it to me w/ no questions asked... well, actually, there was a question... "sir, are u gonna order it today cause i would give u a discount if u order today"..
