If you do the nationwide search on car-part.com you will have hundreds to call about.   So stop whining and make the calls.   I gave you more than enough to get started.   Clue:  it may not be with 20 miles of the swamp.   The swamp rots everything. Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes

Keep calling the others. You've got a lot of calls to make,unless you scor one with a "good enough price" early on. Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes February 13, 2020 at 9:10 AM I did call but theirs is quite rusty so no go. __

Yeah. A wagon rear will run about 300. Anything off a sedan should be less and they are readily available. On Thu, Feb 13, 2020, 7:16 PM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Actually, they found a rust free door for half that price relatively nearby > > On Thu, Feb 13,

Re: [MBZ] Desperately need a W123 driver's door or door shell

Reading the fine print, I see that shipping is free west of the Rockies and east of the Rockies they add a fuel surcharge, but it’s less than $250. Got any better options? I think not. So quit your carping and being cheap and just call them and buy one. It will be easy for a competent body shop

I'm never rejected ! There is one at Harry's in Charlottesville, VA for $150.   Sez 101 miles from Rockville Md.   Easy.  call em up, drive down. haul it back, and put it on. If you call around, you might find one closer or cheaper. but that is a fair one to start with. http://car-part.co

I would doubt their expertise. 99.9% of body shops do not know how to or care to know how to fix rust. And FYI the outer and lower door bottoms are available from fixmyrust.com for cheap. Problem is that the monkey at the body shop is incapable of properly welding in the patch panels in a manner
