Daimler Chrysler parts are distributed from the same parts depots. The two systems merged quite a few years ago. The split will be interesting to watch since my Wife works for the depot system. It's possible that her job could go either way.
By the way, I sat down at her computer when I was visiting one Saturday & compared as many parts as I could think of, from brake parts to suspension parts to electrical to body & trim parts. Chrysler parts are more expensive than Mercedes parts in the system but they are more expensive at the stealership because they have a higher markup. This is another good reason to buy from Rusty.
