Hmmm.... I guess it depends on the level of attachment that you have for the car.... The car in question is a 1987 300E.... Those have a pretty good range in price depending on the condition...... The airbag on the car has a cut in the plastic covering.... A used airbag would provide a cosmetic fix and have a workable airbag..... The new part is a considerable percentage of the car's value...... Used parts might not be what you would want to put on your own car but they are certainly not a waste of time and money....
