I bought an awesome used 1985 transmission for my 1983 300TD from LKQ/PGA 3 years ago. They have always been great to deal with, dating back to 1986. I remember wandering their fields in Frederick, MD cherrypicking nice seatbelts and wood veneers for my first W108, a 1970 280SE. On Tue, Aug 7,

I have direct negative experience. In a fit of idiocy I ordered two outdoor car covers from him, one for my 108 and the other for the SLC. When they finally arrived, the 108 cover was a dusty 20-year-old cotton indoor cover, and the SLC cover didn't fit because it was actually a 129SL cover
