Blower Motor w/ cabin filter

[hd wood]

95 E300D: Would like to purchase a new Bosch blower motor Nr: 0130111034
It seems they are only available at 3x the price of earlier models. Anyone have a source? Thanks. Dave

In the parts forum there's someone parting a '94 E420 I believe, might still have the blower.

uh, 56.00 not a bad price from here...

Thanks guys but no help there. Mine has cabin filters and that is the rub. Price goes to $400 thru MBNA. However, Robert Bosch told the motor was just released to the aftermarket and is available in Atlanta thru Metropolitan for $150 w/o squirrel cages. Their number is 1-800-562-6975. Now to get the impellers off the old motor. I've never seen those for sale anywhere but if you buy them with the motor the price goes thru the roof. I will call Bosch back and see what they have to say and post if I learn anything.
