I live in DC and a local shop here (Radial Tire) suggested Toyo tires for my '85 300TD. I wanted an H-rated tire (more sidewall plies) and they set me up with the best tires I have had on the car - great wet/dry traction, decent in snow, not too much road noise, and a great price. I have put about 15K mi on them and they are wearing fine despite my aggressive cornering habits. If you have a Toyo dealer nearby I would highly recommend you check them out; I can get the model number of my tires if you would like. Rgds, Karl in DC

Naturally, when I went to my mechanic's shop yesterday, they had a parts wagon sitting out front in my color with a perfect left rear door on it. I have decided to hang the used door on my car and forego the bodywork to paint/transfer hardware/etc. onto the new one. Unfortunately, because they shipped it from Germany, Mercedes will not take the new door back, so I now own it. I plan to double check this with Mercedes directly, but that's what I'm told by the body shop here. So I offer it for sale here, prior to posting on eBay. No reasonable offer will be refused. The list on this item is about $750 (according to body shop) but of course I will take whatever I can get for it. According to Mercedes, there are 41 new left doors remaining in Germany; none in the US (except mine). I am in DC. Please bear in mind that this door is for a wagon, which is different from the rear door on the sedan.

Hey, no problem. Always glad help a lister, especially when stuck in such an unpleasant situation. Equally glad to show them around the Kemp Auto Museum sometime... ;) Tom a bit behind on my mail _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net --------------------------------- Yahoo!
