Hard to say. I was wondering if there aren’t people who strip cars for cores, like for alternators and starters, stuff like that. Seems like a tough way to make a buck. -D > On May 24, 2022, at 9:18 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > On Tue, May 24, 2022, at 8:51 PM, dan penoff.com

So understand that I haven’t been in a salvage yard in decades, so a trip to the LKQ in Tampa to look for a spare wheel/tire for the ML550 today was a real experience. It cost me $3.00 to get in. OK, fair enough. There was one W164 in the yard, row 60, space 10. This was near the back of the
