i'm looking to buy an audio 10 CD unit for my coupe and really want to avoid the ebay.de thing. i don't like blind purchases to begin with, especially if the person selling it isn't speaking a language i understand.

i've one of the MB dealers in stuttgart sells them through their parts dept. and they speak english... but which dealer? what's their contact info / phone number?

thanks

I've replied with specifics before so you'll have to research it. Start with www.MercedesBenz.com and select Germany and the use a transalation website to figure it all out. If that's too much work check the UK, most of them speak English.

Here is an Australian place that sells the Audio 10 (I think)

I think the Audio 10 is stock in 2003s, maybe you want to wait a few months.

Try autoclass.net based in Florida. They can special order one for you.

ouch.. autoclass.net wants $600+ for one. ebay.de is starting to look better and better...

$600 isn't too bad. I found a discount MB parts place in the UK that wanted about $450. Don't remember the contact but if you search this forum or beckerautosound.com forum you may find it. Of course add shipping and you are closer to $500.

Then be prepared to pay 550 Euros for the same part that will cost about 200 Euros on Ebay.de. The M-B price is rather steep I'd say.
