I bought mine on ebay for $200 including shipping, the trick is to find a seller that offers you the option of buyitnow or best offer. I have a w124 and a 140, which both cars need suspension repairs. If you like working on you own car and you're mechanically incline then buy the tool and save hundreds of $$. If you plan on keeping the car for a while then you will need it for other suspension parts that might need replacing. Hey it's your money.
