I've been reading through the forum to locate the best place to order a replacement key. I saw a number of people mentioning oempartsdirect.com as the best place, but it seems the site has been changed to Auto Parts Warehouse and no way to place the key order on line.

Can some one direct me to the best place to order a replacement key?
I got a quote from Duval motors at $160. Is this pretty much the going rate? Is seems expensive for a key.

But it isn't a key. It isn't even "just a smart key" but it is "an MB smart key", a world of difference.

the dealer.

i'm assuming that you're referring to the 'smart key' (with the lock/unlock buttons), and not the actual metal key blade... recently i paid about $190 for the smart key and another $12 (or $15) for the key blade... so i think the $160 you were quoted is a great price...

I got 2 keys last October, cost $340. You can only get it from the dealer. There's a great write up somewhere on the forum, about how the keys are coded in this one place in Texas. Very interesting if you are a tech-head.

Thanks for the comments.

I guess I just bite the bullet and order one.

Yup, made that mistake. Only can be bought from dealer. Wasted $130 on ebay and they didn't work (was for a 1994 S420). A**hole that sold them said too bad, even though the sellers KNOW they won't work. I told him to go F**k himself.
