Duval Motor Cars
I use to have this site booked marked and order parts all the time, because they had some killer pricing. Anyone know what happend to these guys? The linked I used before does not work. I tried googling and looked for that wholesale pricing but I cant find it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

That is partially true. You found the dealership site. They (Duval) used to have an online parts store also, but, like oempartsdirect.com, they gave it up. I heard the costs just became to great to be competitive and they did not have the stomach to live in the cyber-market.
May they rest in peace.

Here is another, just a good basic one: http://formymercedes.com/mb.asp
You will be hard pressed to find anything like Duval or OEMpartsdirect were. Good luck and keep us posted if you find something else.

develop a good relationship with your dealership Parts Dept.
Make friends and soon you'll be paying wholesale price instead of retail.
Or join MBCA, and some dealerships give 10%-15% off on parts and service.
If you want to join MBCA, send me an e-mail or PM.

Wow, I've posted this a thousand times now...make one thousand and one.
Call Duval, ask for Steve Foster, and tell him you're an online customer or send email to the link on the site, sfoster@duvalmotorcars.com and ask for price quotes.
It takes a while to get what you want. So then also search on
"mercedes" and "trademotion" and you'll find several dealers who sell online.
Duval still was pretty much the least expensive. But
Autobahn on the west coast is at least faster....
Ft. Lauderdale is on there too....

hate to pile on but...
I have used this guy (www.buymbparts.com) and I have to say his prices are usually cheaper than the dealer...oddly enough I live about 10miles from Duval motorcars and i have sworn off them...the dealership looks like run down gas station bathroom. No one I work with who has a MB goes to them anymore...true story...my boss took his car there for routine maintenance...they took it for a test drive...broke the steering column...told him it would of happened anyway and then charged him $700 to repair it.

Steve will still give online discounted prices if you ask....
like I said, it just takes a long time. I never had any problems with their online service....I even bought a rear bumper....375 including shipping!
But now I use the Autobahn site for the most part.
buymbparts is ok too....People rave about "Rusty" all over the net.
He'll sell you a little tin of that sunroof lube for $10.
