Low main dealer part prices

[PaulE230]

I have been suprised how low some parts are at the dealers

I had to get a new vent today for the front drivers side footwell it was £3

Also had to get a new petrol cap that was £8

Not bad really

I think the cheapest part is the lock cover at under a pound

Main dealer parts are often the cheapest and always the best.

and don't forget - you often get 10% if you mention mbclub.co.uk (ok - they may think you are saying the MB owners association )..

Genuine parts always are the best, in some instances they can cost a tad more then the copy parts but have to say Genuine all the way !

My brother showed me a German,French spare parts catalogue, the prices did appear to be more than the main dealers.

 

[MBManInKen]

Genuine all the way !

I'll second that!

There are people who make a living selling genuine M-B parts on eBay for more than they cost at a dealership. People assume they are getting a bargain 'cos it's eBay

One interesting development I've seen recently is an M-B dealership parts dept. selling on eBay! See this thread:

Very true, my mum was looking for a cup holder for her car and on ebay including postage it worked out more expensive than from Landrover themselves! Ridiculous!
