Unhappy 260e Water Pump

Hey Everyone,
Quick question. My good luck streak continues and my water pump needs to be changed. Local shop quoted me about $700 installed. I know it's a big job and I have to put on the knee pads but does that sound reasonable???
Thanks guys!

just keep in mind that a lot of shops will charge you more just because its a mercedes. for the most part its just like changing a water pump on any car there just may be a few extra things you need to do. check out mercedesshop.com for a step by step tutorial on the water pump install. i'm sure they have something.
