Where to buy Running Board
Hi All,

When we bought our 2008 ML-350, I promised the wifey to add running boards. Well, that time has finally come. I called a few local dealers and they are all asking for $1050 for the part. Labor ranged anywhere from $300-750, ouch.

What is a good place to buy them online? I only want the real stuff (no OEM).

Thanks

if you buy from the dealer, you can save yourself the expense of installation, by doing it yourself....

here are the instructions

Or you can go aftermarket for around $160 on eBay. I had those on our previous 08 ml350. It does it's job and installation took less than 2 hours.

Anyone know any good websites to purchase original running board? I prefer not to go with OEM.

Thanks.

I'm confused by his post too, buuut... We carry OEM MB parts, and can get just about any aftermarket part.
