Also i checked into the rotor and distributor cap at my local NAPA store and the price seemed unreal?! The quote was $90 for the cap and $33 for the rotor. Those prices were based on a discount IF I qualified. Are those prices pretty common for those plastic parts? What brands seem to work best?

Forget buying almost anything from NAPA or AUTOZONE or ADVANCED AUTO PARTS, etc. These guys rape you for anything Mercedes.
Go with someone like
www.peachparts.com;
www.germanimportedparts.com; or
www.pelicanparts.com
You can get the parts for half the price, even after you pay to overnight them !!!
