Let’s hope so. That being said, I’m amazed at the number of eBay sellers that are hawking both new and used stuff for the older cars, like my W111, for stupid money compared to what you can buy things for from the dealer. Case in point, a trunk tristar for my trunk lid new from the dealer is below $50.
You can find any number of new and used ones on eBay for well over $100. There must be a market, or these sellers are just tossing the stuff out for no listing fees hoping they’ll find a sucker. -D > On Mar 29, 2019, at 6:08 PM, Kaleb C.
