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?

Do you have the part number? Unless its brakes or suspension parts, I usually use oediscountparts.com or parts.com.

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 did full suspension with them in August
bilstien b8,lowering springs, upper and lower control arms, sway bar links and bushings front and back, new upper front mounts, and all I have to say is WOW transformed the car, my car only has 78,000 miles.
did the work myself too, which I was proud of.

I use parts.com for OEM. Usually comes from a MB dealer in chicago. Prices are pretty decent.

all these are good suggestions.... for genuine MB OEM parts this site is the cheapest i've found: https://www.mbpartshq.com/

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.
