C230 Sport Coup

Just curious, how many people who still have the old style tail lights on the coupe would want to get the 2005 style if the price was less than from MB? I might be able to get a killer deal on 10 sets. Just to be clear, and so I don't get inadvertently banned or some such nonsense, I haven't ordered, nor do I have any items to sell!

Right now, I'm just curious, nothing more. I have nothing to offer for sale.
If you feel the need to delete this thread, feel free.
Hope I won't offend anyone just for asking.

Mods, if and when (and thats a big if) I do end up offering anything for sale, I'll be certain to consult you, and see what might be necessary to offer items for sale to the members.

Again, I got jack, no items for sale!!!!!

big upgrade

Depends on customs, taxes final shipping costs, + anything I might have to pay MB World, which I have no idea about.
Guessing between 250 -350 a pair.

Todd,

I would be interested in a set.
What are the part numbers on those 05 lights?

Thanks,
Dave

By the way, any pictures of your Supercharger Muffler Delete?
Are you still running the stock air cleaner?

I think I got it for $250 or so from gaston, but that was like a LONG TIME AGO, right now, I think it cost around 300 or so

c230kracer

I don't have any pics here, but there's a thread on 'another' forum.
I helped a guy figure out how to remove his and he posted this on
U tube

Well looks like their might be some interest on the lights.
I'm trying to see if I can't wrangle a deal for 5 sets.
I don't have experience ordering stuff from overseas, and I'm
concerned I could end up sending a pile of cash over and getting nothing...
not sure how to do this... or having customs charge a ton...
I sold an alarm kit to a guy in Canada once, and was honest when I did the ppwk. It was a $50 item, and they hit him up for like $60 in customs....

Anyone have any experience with stuff like this?

My profit wouldn't be much if I could pull it off...not sure if it's worth the risk. But I'm not working, so every little bit helps.

Is it really as easy as taking out that Black Muffler Part and just putting everything back together?

C230 Sport Coup

Well, pretty much. There's a few tricks. all detailed elsewhere.

Would definitely be interested if it's not *too* expensive.

Has anyone tried RBrenton? He has a kickass 30% off stock prices minus shipping if I remember correctly.

C230 Sport Coup

Hmmmm.....
Anyone know the part numbers?
I found only 1 side, 2038202564
Looks like the MSRP is 210 bucks?
Rbrenton's price shows 168 a side + tax and shipping assuming I have the correct pn.
So that would be 336 etc. and he's a sponsor and mod.
I was under the impression it was more like 500 a set from the dealer.

Don't think this is going to happen. Sorry.

valexv

i have them at home, just got to find the sheet

drb930

$144.90 at Parts.com
We need the other part number

The lights were easily $700 a pair up in Canada the last time I asked. I ended up ordering from Steve for around $300 IIRC. I wouldn't ship anywhere but within the states, I always get raped by customs... ESPECIALLY BY UPS!!!

valexv

^ yeah, i was suppose to have my lights this week but now have to wait till next week to get them.

SeaCoupe

Funny thing is I have a set just sitting in a box right now.

I need to get off my but and put them on.

Whats the total cost? Coming from overseas?
Are you paying customs fees etc?
How much was that?
Any idea how to figure out the fees in advance?

I am in, if you ship to Canada...
