The dealer wanted to save money since they were upside down on the car (meaning they sold it to ray for less than what they bought it from me for). The sales guy happened to be a noob (this car was i believe his first sale) and he told ray the car had Xenons. He did not see the car in person and didnt find out until the car arrived to him via transporter. The dealership now owed him a pair Xenons, and new ones were too expensive, so they asked me to get them from Steve as a favor. I got involved because I recommended Steve to the dealer to help them out, since they lost $ on my previous car.
Anyhow, Steve is going to sell me a new part for 350, so I dont really have any problem with him or that. I was just curious to see what others would have done.

you guys are too nice. why even get peter or steve involved with this from the beginning. plain and simple, the dealer fuked up in the beginning with the sale and they should have had to eat the original xenons and get them from mbusa.
the 3% or whatever it is that the dealer gets back from mbusa on each car sold based on those comment cards we fill out after purchase could have easily gone to this. seems like everyones intentions from the beginning were good but ultimately this was the dealers problem and they should have dealt with it. just my 2 cents.

Believe me when I say these types of actions will reap rewards in the future.

I know this disagreement is =over= ... but I just thought I had to respond to the comparison of Steve in say'n "it ain't brain surgery" upon seeing this thread I link to below... I'm still put'n in my vote to being impressed as **** with Steve...
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...58#post1353995
And his re-wiring of my '98 to make it a digital system including upgrading the built-in analog phone to a digital system, while still using the analog harnass and figuring how to splice and re-wire it on the fly to what the digital system needed... impressive as hell!
He's unmatched in my book!

I was going to do the same...
How a person can take a car down to that, and put it back together in perfect working order is amazing to me... production line workers focus on one part for a long time before moving into a different area... but to do it all?

.............there is a lot you don't know. I had a Euro Comand retrofit done to my CLK locally here in Atlanta 2001. Complete with TV tunner, DVD etc. This is a full 2 years before steve began his business. Look, Steve does good work, but he should....he is running a business. Waxing hyperbolic about these things is not neccessary especially to others who have seen it done even before Steve got into the picture
COMAND, TV, DVD, PS2, STARTAC TO V60 UPGRADE, REAR VIEW CAMERA, STEALTH RADAR PLUS LASER JAMMER INTEGRADED INTO REAR VIEW MIRROR BACK IN 2001
