I still don't get it - Can you not buy G parts from the DC network in the US?
Here in SA one can buy G parts from any DC dealer be they in the most remote region. You can also buy parts for vehicles that were not sold through the local dealer network eg grey imports etc.

MBUSA is a very unique part of the DCAG corporate structure. They will not have anything to do with vehicles that they did not import and sell themselves. Although some individual dealers may try to be helpful, they usually don't have the knowledge or experience to be really useful.
So, the answer to your question is "No" about 99% of the time. |

The $700 sounds way too high; how many are you looking for? I bough 4 not that long ago and paid a fraction of that. I don't understand, why not call EuroTruck yourself and get the price?

Steve saw the post and left a voicemail with the correct pricing. It was after hours Friday when I got the original price from my mechanic and flipped out, so I posted on the forumn to get the scoop. I haven't had time to deal with it today yet, but I'm sure my mechanic just wrote the parts price down wrong. Either that or he planned on turning a quick $600. Jeez! |
