I have found that my local stealership has very little interest in keeping any parts for older cars like mine in stock, and generally I have to do all the research and bring them the part numbers and print out from the EPC, and then I have to pay in advance, wait a few days or longer for the "special order", and then make another trip across town to pick up the part. I gave up on that after the second go-round, now I just call them and if it is not in stock, I buy elsewhere.

Tom Hanson gives a very nice discount for MBCA membership, and the part is shipped to my door.
