My 2005 Wagon has a lot of little trim issues. For example the left rear ashtray won't stay closed.

Who is the best source for parts online? I know the right one for my P-car, but not the E55.

Thanks!

Ive always used parts.com

novae500

parts.com but order alot so shipping doesnt get you.

Yup parts.com is the ticket... I am on my third MB & have used them for years. Other than the freight advice from novae55 also make sure you give them your VIN# to ensure you are getting the correct parts unless you are trying to upgrade to something from a later model year.

I've compared rmeuropean, germanparts.com , fcpeuro, orilley, rockautozone and Ended up buying stuff from rmeuropean.

I compared prices of oil filter, bosch icon wiper, sepentine belt, s/c belt costed me 110 included second day shipping. Overall stuff was cheaper at rockautozone but shipping on everything took the price high cuz they were shipping some items from a different warehouse.

You might check this one Mercedes' Junkyard by states.

I have only bought parts from local yards. There are some additional yards that will send you quote with pictures of the picture with limited warranties.

Free shipping on orders over $50. Prices are only a bit higher than parts.com. So, depending on that you need, this may be a good option.

If you call the guys are parts.com and challenge them on the shipping, they will adjust the cost, I have done so twice and they were cool about it.

First order of parts for my GL, prices were very close to the best of any place I have seen recommended here, and free shipping with no "Handling/Processing" charges made it overall lowest by a good bit.

I tried getting a left rear shock from OEDiscountpart and the price was $501 and at rmeuropean I got em for 375 $ free shipping , it was the same Bilstein .

I guess you have to shop every part across a few of these places if you always want the lowest price.

djrabbi

i use oediscountparts.com....If something if off, call Tracy and she will price match anyone.

mbonlineparts.com is good. The site is a big clunky, but if you know the part number it's simple enough. They've always had the cheapest price for everything I've needed.

To add another, I've also has good luck with www.europartsdirect.com

was one in an mb box and the other in a bilstein box?

Pull your whole ashtray assy out of the door first. There is a lever that clips in place when it is closed. I have found that this metal clip/ lever can get out of position, and it does not latch when closed. If you pull it out, you can look on the side of it and manually open close it in your hand to see what i am talking about. If it out of its correct slot, simply use a little flat tip screw driver to push it back into its correct plastic slot while closing it. I would try this first before buying a new one. Good luck.

I havent bought from these guys since last year... Looks like I jinxed myself... been 5 days since I paid for an order, still in "processing", parts.com I would have probably have it delivered by now. Called and email customer service no response. PM'd the sponser no response.

Dont use these guys.

Anyone find a place that sells MB touch-up paint?

EDIT:

Seems the dealers don't ship it because it is considered a "Hazardous Material".

Off to the dealer for that, unless someone recommends one of the aftermarket touch-up paint suppliers.
