Not sure why anyone would pay to join MBCA for $50 for 12 months.
BanZWorld is BanZWorld. Same losers, different day. Same mods abusing powers.
Depends what is offered in your area. North TX has very good incentives. I get substantial discounts at MB dealer. I believe it is something like wholesale +10% or so. We have 6 Tech sessions a year. Three are at MB dealers, 2 are at indies. We can take our cars there for 4 hours (usually 8a-12p) one time last year a Indy let us be there for 8 hrs. We only pay $10 for each tech session. We can use their lifts, they will usually have a few of their techs on site to help with questions and show us what to do. They also allow us to use various specialty tools of theirs. I was able to put new bushings in my lower rear control arms which required a special tool. I have seen people use their MB computers to test out various systems. One guy drained and refilled his active suspension on a 500CL. The tech hooked it up to the computer and made it do the MB dance to get the fluid in al the right places and make sure it all worked out. Never been charged extra for any of the stuff at the sessions. I was even able to get free stuff (diff fluid and trans oil one time). So for us, the MBCA is worth every penny and then some. I have saved lots of money with it.
