Thumbs down Schatz tips guess how much?

I was at Penske today and saw that they had the Schatz tips for the w203's. I asked the parts guy how much it costs. He goes over to his computer and types in the part number. A few seconds later he raises his eyebrows and says to me with a faceful of amazement....





































$700+ dollars (forget the exact dollar)!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now THAT'S a rippoff!

why would you be surpriced that Penske would charge stuff overpriced. They are probably one of the worst dealership around LA. No matter how you ask their sales they won't tell you anything until you start to sign something.

The tips cost like $145 online. At their price of $700+ I'm wondering which sucker will actually buy it!

I agree, 700+ dollors is expensive. I would pay a little more and get a catback system.
