Are you saying they advertised rebuilt original and sent you new Chinese parts?

Another NLA part from Mercedes, too. That’s not what’s piqued my interest. I’ve been looking at used and aftermarket options on eBay, and happen to notice that a fair number of sellers I have considered show as being based in Hebron, KY. Cincinnati’s airport, which is also a location for (I think) an Amazon fulfillment center.

Re: [MBZ] Distribution Logic?
See the one that has a price? $300.00! Believe it or not, the OE version was less than that as I recall. I can get an Asian import knock-off for a third of that. I’m not that hung up about authenticity. I just want a grille in place. I would rather have a new one that resembles the original than a used one that’s probably as worn and brittle as mine is. And they’re convenient for those of us who don’t yet have the luxury of time to go to these places and scrounge - that is, they’re delivered to my front door. -D > On Sep 17, 2023, at 7:57 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Sun, 17 Sep 2023 21:44:19 + "dan penoff.com via Mercedes" > wrote: > >> Meanwhile, I gotta find a replacement grille for this thing before the >> remains break off and poke a hole in something in the process. > > https://www.car-part.com has results as shown in the attached screenshot. > > > Craig > 17-56-28.png>___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
