That’s an option. Sticking with a W140 is best since everything I have around here is mostly W140 stuff. However, I was thinking about an E class, which I mentioned in my original post. Just don’t know a lot about them. Thanks, Dan > On Jul 16, 2015, at 4:32 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Merc

LKQ was the first call I made this morning. If they don’t have it, tough beans, they won’t help you get it (like they do for professional body shops.) They don’t have it. The coupe is different than the sedan in front, or so I’m finding out. With that in mind, I would say this car’s fate has

This is where the economics as well as logistics kick in. The cost for fuel, and more importantly, time, would make it prohibitive, although I do appreciate the suggestion. If Kaleb were closer it might make sense, but between having to take PTO at work and the boy being in summer session at t
