"Cheap" euro EZL

Hello everyone,

I have a 1990 euro 560sec with the m117.968 engine.
i was looking for a spare EZL just in case. I found a brand new one with an american supplier for around 800$. I know they can go for a lot higher used.

Should i be worried that it's cheaper than a used one and that an american mb parts supplier has it since these are euro only?
