Hey does anyone know where to get cheap Mercedes parts from? Any online sources? and also does anyone have a great hook up for used parts?

Also I live in canada, so I was wondering if anyone knows about any canadian sources also? So everyone let me know where you get the best bang for your parts bucks. Thanks

Man, I am sick of hearing of those stupid people who think that a 50,000 to 200,000 dollar car never needs maintance! Scary world we live in.

Its not really the consumers fault. I blame mercedes and there sales people for people thinking mercedes don't need regular maintence. Mercedes till the early 90's told people there car's were engineered to be better then any other brand. They also claimed there car's required the least amount of service, even though when the service was needed it cost an arm, leg, and HEART!....But when mercedes told people there car's don't need a tune up for the first 100 000km's, that was scary enough to think people would take a risk like that on a 70 000 dollar car. As far as mercedes is concerned, poor maintence doesn't affect there bottom line at all, since all damage that will occur on a brand new car for neglecting maintence is after the warrenty period when there paying, so in the end, the consumers left with a lemon. Go to a dealership, Mercedes sales people will tell you, these car's run forever, never break down, and when they do, the maintence is cheap....and never nothing major........$15 000 dollars of my own money later, my car still needs 9000 in repairs....and my car got all the proper service on time.

good point, i stand corrected!

just for the record, it is against the law to sell used brake parts, just ask any wrecking yard

I think it's illegal for wrecking yards to provide legal advice!!! Just for the record.

I haven't tried and would never buy used brake pads or shoes, but on occasion I've bought used drums, rotors, caliper brackets, adjuster assys, and brake master cylinders at a local salvage yard, without any hassles.

Happy Motoring, Mark
