Ok, so your choices are:

1. $500.00 and drive your car now
2. $200.00 and maybe drive it in a month
3. $1000.00 at your dealer and drive it now.

If you have a backup car, wait the month. If not, spend the $500.00 and away you go.

The W211 is a car that will be expensive to maintain, as you're learning. $500.00 seems like a great deal to me.

But, I'm gonna throw you a bone. Call Pat at Potomac German Auto in Frederick Maryland. See what he can do for you. Tell him Clayton with the tricked out E500 sent you.

Yes, $500 its a pretty darn good price, especially with a lifetime warranty. I paid $900 about a year ago, but was lucky to save some dough on the installation through an indie.

$500 is not bad. Don't you also get like a $100 refund for sending in your old one?

They're the ones we've been PMing each other about. They are not airmatic since they come with springs as well. Not sure if its compatible.
