Also . . . have you tried buffing out your paint job? We never did find out the year and model of your Benz. Maybe if you do the work yourself, send for a paint job/buffing, drive to Pick Ur Parts for new interior, and replace all the sensors, lights, and pressure sensor behind your cluster . . . you can plan this stuff by a weekend at a time, and you might have a "new" car within 6 weeks, for a lot less than you'd spend on a replacement of questionable quality.
