Recently I've bought some parts for my 1990 Lexus LS400, and I've got NOTHING to complain about the cost of Mercedes parts.

A poster on a Lexus group was complaining about the cost of a brake pad wear sensor, $12.50! Mercedes is like a dollar.

Now Mercedes does have some mega-priced items but they seem to be readily available used on ebay.
