It is a 1982 240D and it is the ignition lock. The closest dealer
to me is 125 miles away. I was told I needed to bring in title and my ID
to them before they would order it and their price was close to
$150.00. I can't afford to take off work to order a part that cost
almost what I make in two days.

Yes the ordering from the dealer would be best but its not feesable
for me at this time. What I was curious about were the ones sold
by places like peach, $24 vs $100. My old lock came completely
Apart when I got it out.
