When I supplied the parts to the dealer last year it cost me $750 in labor for:
Rear springs, spring pads, shocks to be replaced. And a front end alignment. Took them 1 day. They charge $95 an hour.

Seeing how you can buy a car like that for $2500-$3000. I wouldn't do that!

 But its worth it, because its extremely reliable, and now that I've fixed most everything, it hasn't needed much work in a long while....and will probably continue to be that way.Either way, I've driven 62k over 4.5 years in a S-class MB with all its luxuries and safety, for about the price of a Kia Rio.  And will continue to do so. Not to mention, insurance and registration on this car is likely a lot less than it'd be for a new POS car!
