Hi, I really need help with figuring out what parts my old ml320.
Unfortunately I got into an accident which caused damage to the front bumper and a few other parts of the car. The dealership where I am said that they would charge me close to 10 grand to get the parts and fix the car. They also refuse to give me a serial number to all the parts that the car needs, I have an invoice with the name of the parts and only some parts have serial numbers with them. Unfortunately where I am they're the only MB dealership so it's a monopoly and I can't do much about it. I know that I can find the parts online for cheaper and ship them to where I am, so can anyone help me figure out the parts that don't have serial numbers? I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd try!

Its difficult to help you without knowing what parts exactly you need. Why don't you take a picture of the invoice & post it. It will also be helpful if you post your VIN. I can check all the parts for you according to your VIN & give you the part #'s.
Hi Art, thanks for getting back to me. I currently live in the Middle East but the car was purchased from Switzerland in 2001. I've attached the invoice and i'll try to get the VIN from the dealership as the car is still there. Your help is much appreciated and would save me 10,000 USD!
Amalina, I've made a PDF with the parts & their numbers. Bear in mind the parts in your list without the part numbers are related to the one with the part #. Hope this helps.
All of this you can get from car breakers. This guys are taking advantage of you , by charging for each & every bolt & clip.......Get them second hand.
PS. I think there is a mistake in the VIN. But it doesn't matter.......
Thanks again for all your help. This may be a weird request, but are there any websites or individuals who could help with obtaining the parts I need for a fee? This isn't out of laziness, I just don't know the first thing about cars and wouldnt know where to start, so having someone help me pick the correct parts at affordable prices would help tremendously.
Start with the link I gave you in post #4. Click on the orange button with the part number of the one you want, then click the orange "Add to cart" button. The website will add up the prices and compile your list of parts.
If the part isn't on that page, get the number from Art's pdf and type it into the search box at the top right, under the orange rectangle.
