I would compare prices from dealers & on-line.
You may be surprised how reasonable dealer prices are sometimes.
For on-line sources you could try this:
http://germanstar.net/Mercedes_Parts_Catalog.html, or here:
http://www.discountmbparts.com/C-230...000_parts.html.
There are many others.
Don't forget shipping costs.

I use these guys to buy my parts. Cheaper than everybody for the same parts/quality. Free shipping for all orders over $50. Compare the prices and you'll see.

BMAPARTS.COM has the best prices?
i jus ordered some parts from these guys for cheaper than any other online site / dealer....

MB062895 Behr Heater Fan Motor for $119.85 (144 for OE @ dealer)
MB075979 Behr Heater Fan Resistor for $91.35 (108 for OE @ dealer)

Other online sites charged approximately the same as dealer ...

BMAParts was free shipping and no tax... how can u beat that?
