I've been trying to locate some servicable interior parts for my 300CE. The parts are no longer available new. I've been checking regularly with the following salvage operations, I'm wondering if anybody has any other suggestions for good used part outfits:

Aurora Auto Wrecking
Potomac German, both MD and FL
Tri-Star

I am off SoCal Pete, he burned me during this quest.

Appreciate any suggestions.

if youre not in a big hurry, most things come up on Ebay eventually. Another thing to do is find an auction with similar parts and email the guy to put up an auction for the part you want

I'm afraid those of us with a C124 are in for a long search for interior parts. Mechanical parts...no problem. But interior trim??? There are a few things I want that will bring my coupe up to mint condition, but do not have any hope of finding them. Even if from a junkyard, they will probably not be the right color or will be flawed somehow. For now, I'm just driving and enjoying.

I have bought used air filter brackets for the 300SD from Adsit a couple of times. They were less than half price and worked fine. Not sure but think they carry a lot of used parts. Think they are in Nashville.

You are the only person I've come across that didn't have a Customer Service HORROR story to go along with your Adsit dealings.

I'd rather whittle the parts I need from a block of metal with a spoon than deal with them ever again.
