Please post any North Carolina salvage yard with Mercedes here.

Here is what I've learned so far:
Sources = ME if I can plug my collection of w123 parts I've saved, not a business.

Best yards I've been to so far....

Sams Wrecking & Auto Services
5016 Harvey Road, Jamestown, NC 27282-9114
(336) 454-2203

Ask for the son Darrel
he worked for the MB stealer's service back in the day and has great knowledge; does most (non-computer) repairs for fair price but slow.

Good guy, willing to help and very fair prices on pull-your-own.
They have a few w116s, many w123, w124 and starting to collect more newer stuff plus other makes, including alot of old VWs



Lowe's Used Auto Parts
Moncure,
NC 27559 919-542-5993

Owner Jerry Lowe is a really nice guy, but he didn't want to sale to a few black friends of mine....not sure what that is about?

I took over a very clean 1980 SD to add to the other 3. Several w123 and w124 plus other makes and starting to get some new ones too.


I will up-date when I locate more
Regular yard prices but you can haggle over pull-your-own discounts

I grew up in NC. I can see somethings haven't changed much there. Where is Moncure? Isn't that in the far Western part of the state?

Obviously a pick-a-part type yard is going to have constantly changing inventory, but Rusty's Pic-A-Part had several 80's-90's Benzes when I was there last.

I went there today (7/3/2012) and they crushed all of the MB's that were there previously. The ONLY Benz there now is an 81 300SD and it's pretty picked over.

That is very disappointing for Rusty's. Glad I did not stop last Friday as I traveled past.

anyone know of a few 123s we can pick from in the southern mts?

Gary's son is pricing their stuff way to high, based on ebay.
