Now that I look at the original post, I have no idea! I guess this condenser is just stuck on my brain!

Actually my W210 compressor is ready to go out (again). I replaced it for the previous owner (back when I was his personal mechanic) and after he drove around for months with the fan unit malfunctioning and high-presssure check valve spewing, the compressor is now noisy. It cools just fine, but is noisy, probably damaged by the 425 psi I measured before fixing the fan!

I recall spending about $500 for the compressor alone, without oil or drier. It was a reman Bosch OEM. The price you quoted seems scary cheap.
