hehehe. The light on ebay retails for $2,079. I have another one, 100-826-52-52 and it's no longer available from MB. Mine is NOS, perfect condition.
I may end the auction now and repost with a ga-jillion pictures. Dude, you've been a tremendous help. Thanks so much! I've registered on the M100 site and IF they let me on, I will post the part on the forum right after I relist it. :-) Chris 1985 300SD 244K miles --- On Thu, 7/2/09, LWB250 <lwb...@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: LWB250 <lwb...@yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] anyone know anything about 600 limo (w100) parts value? > To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Date: Thursday, July 2, 2009, 7:52 PM > > I've dealt with these guys with two former MBs, and Todd's > quote is spot on: > > > "I know what the M-100 secret handshake is: The rare and > elusive US $1,000 bill.
