So, I was looking for other items to purchase, but as a lark thought I would call Park Place Mercedes and see if they had them, and how much.
Well, they weren't in stock but could have them by tomorrow. [more and more things are NOT in stock these days. They didn't even have OM606 glow plugs a few weeks ago!]
The mats were $138.00!! I asked them how much with my MBCA discount: $65.00!!! Less then half price [off markup ] and I can have them by tomorrow.
More $$$$ I've saved over the cost of my membership....

Good Lord!
I guess that answers my origional question. I can only hope that my local Dealership gives similar discounts.
I am a person who in my life time has bough only 1 part from any Dealership. A Crankshaft Pulley/Damper for an 92 Old Cutlass that had come apart.
