Where do you guys commonly buy parts?
I have to change my Oil cooler gasket(s), and I have a decision to make. The dealer wants to charge me $87.00, I can also order some on eBay for cheap(which makes me very skeptical). I also seen someone in here on an old thread, mention parts.com and but I can’t find the actual parts. Should I just pay the dealer?

Just to clarify my previous answer. i was specifically referring to the oil Cooler gasket. Otherwise for things like OEM brakes or suspension parts, i use FCP Euro. Excellent vendor. About to place a large order with them for my C32 shortly.

I do buy some stuff at dealership my sway bar bushings front and rear where 9.00 bucks each, from MBenz dealer. Certain things are okay priced other things are crazy, MB dealer wanted 1200.00 Canadian for secondary air pump. I laughed at price. I got it from a member on this forum for 80.00.

fcpeuro.com is a bit more expensive BUT they have a lifetime warranty on their parts which is great considering things like Accelerator pedals seem to go out ever 2 years (i've bought 4 ever since installing my sprintbboster) and they would replace for FREE.
