Has this 1997 E300D W210 spring perch been replaced?
I looked at a 1997 E300D this weekend that has 134,000 miles and is in real good shape but the spring perches aren't the same color. The car is white and the driver's side perch is white and the passenger side is black. I'm thinking the passenger side has been replaced but I would appreciate your thoughts on it. Will MBUSA give any information about the car if you call them with the VIN?
Thanks!

I would say that the white one is a repair, but it is hard to tell from the picture. I would suggest taking it to an independent tech, or a dealer for a complete inspection prior to making an offer. The spring perches on this model have been known to rust out, but if the repair is done correctly you will not have a problem. I think that if owner was trying to put one over on you, he would have given both spring perches a 1/2 thick layer of undercoating to disguise the issue. Good luck
