Angry Auto Dimming Side Mirror

My Dealer in Atlanta tells me a new auto dimming side mirror, which was recently damaged (badly) that a new one runs $1,000 and another one down the street says $1,600! Do these people just make up numbers?! Is there any way to check on prices that a dealership gives you? I am really frustrated with MB Service and their outrageous prices and nonchalant attitudes towards them. Most of these service people drive 1980 Datsuns.

u can compare price at different dealer
for example
if u run into a dealer that quote u 1000
u tell the other dealer u jsut got quote for 500 from that dealer u just talk to (since these people would be lazy to call them up to see the price, well as for smythe WORKS FOR ME!!)

Pax mirror on W203 is non-dimming. Unless you are trying to pass off a RHD driver's mirror. Even then the wiring for it is missing in the LHD cars.

The one I have is a PAX rearview mirror from a 2005 C-230 sedan. It has 2 wire connectors on the back of it. 41-3133-454 number on back.

That is the one I have if you need it...
