Have the infamous cracked dash on an old 190 with 64k orig miles. Are there any out there used? (Black)

Pat has a great price on used dashboards, just a pain to swap.

Thanks Alot.. I sent him an E-Mail a few minutes ago. Will wait to hear back.

Since you're on the eastern side, shipping shouldn't be too bad compared to "my neck of the woods." Hope Pat hooks you up.

I haven't heard back from him, but I called the company and they do not have any available.

Any other suggestions or sources out there?

I saw that you registered on the board, so you could post a used part wait list request at:

There are other used MB parts sources, so putting out feelers at places like silverstar recycling, bills used mercedes, etc.

Last time I checked, a new OEM dash ran about $400, so I went with the Palco dashtop for $120 from Capitol West, but if I was on the mainland and within UPS ground shipping of a reputable parts supplier, I would have gone for a good condition used dash.

Ok.. posted a request there..

Seems like I called a place out west a month ago and it was almost 300 plus shipping .. Thought it was high until I saw your post earlier...now I think it was REALLY high..

Hope to avoid a cover but who knows where this will eventually lead... I have to work on a vacuum leak before summer so I likely will have to remove it anyway.. so hope I can find something.. Thanks for the suggestion.
