Dealer Only Parts best price?
It's been awhile! I used to get dealer only parts (like interior plastics) for good price from Tom Hanson in California. I now he has moved on -- where do I go now? My cars are W124.

The usual suspects, Caliber Motors, Park Place, Duval, MB of Cincinnati.

Depending on value, weight, volume location may not that big a deal. You just have to make a few phone calls. MB Cincinnati is advertising wholesale prices in the Star magazine. Also Phil here can often get dealer parts at good prices.

I haven't bought from Caliber in quite a while, but was always very happy with their prices and service.

1. The WIS may not be accurate or complete for the older cars, but the EPC (electronic parts catalog) is.

2. I don't think it works on a Mac.
