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.

yeah, but I thought that meant a premium and was only for 25 years old + models

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

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

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.

Thanks deanyel!
YES, the prices are fantastic! Really good dealer parts prices for MBCA members from Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati www.mercedesbenzofcincinnati.com 888.871.7914 Ted in Parts is with whom I spoke. He said anyone there has the rates. They will need a Credit Card Signature on file -- can be faxed or scanned and emailed. [form attached]

I called Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati and had them give me quote on some of the same parts I had quote on from my dealer and every time Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati was lower. |

I also have been very happy with MB of Cinci.
I will say that time is money, and I wonder if parts people will take this into consideration when pricing. I look up everything I need on the EPC and email a list of part numbers so they can tell me if they can get it and quote on it. This beats a 45 minute phone call for both parties.

The MB parts catalog, at:
http://www.startekinfo.com/epc It is free to US residents, last I checked. They only use the credit card to verify your address. IMO, this is the most important "tool" that I have.

My cars are too old to be StarTek I guess

and Oh:
EPC-net does not presently support Macintosh or Linux Operating Systems. Please review the "Tech Requirements" under the "About Site" tab. It's web based -- does it work on Mac?
