Yeah, but if they make that back plus profit, why have the core charge? Maybe I'm just a tightwad... I can understand it for rebuildable things at the dealer/flaps, but it just seems dodgy to have a core charge of $2 on a door hinge, you'd be lucky to get $0.01 for it in scrap. Then again,

If you can get a factory rebuild at that price, go for it! It will have ALL of the upgrades in it, so it will be much more reliable. A used trans out of another w210.025 is likely to be worn as well; very few change the ATF in them, and unless it interchanges wih a gasser tranny, there
