If you have an Advanced Auto in your area you can just do a Google for promo codes. I was seriously considering buying a OBDII real time scanning device that was $160 and with one of their latest promo codes I could have gotten it for $110.

Just bought eight stock Bosch plugs for my 97 SL500. 30% off promo code (TRT30) brought the total from $21.52 down to $15.06. That makes it less than $1.89/plug.

Re: [MBZ] Not 85 politics or Merc -- Auto Parts
You can't use them in the store - you have to order online. Just do it for store pickup. If the store doesn't have the part in stock, stop by and ask them to order it, and tell them you'll order it online for store pickup as soon as it arrives. I do this with my store all the time.

Re: [MBZ] Not 85 politics or Merc -- Auto Parts
Cheap pads with long gaurantees wear out the rotors; not the other way around.

Re: [MBZ] Not 85 politics or Merc -- Auto Parts
Doing the fronts on my 97 SL500 was roughly $241 using MB rotors from the dealer and a set of Akebonos from our sexy parts supplier. For safety related stuff like brakes and suspension I can see cutting corners. It had MB rotors on it with Jurid pads, but I suspect that the PO put a new set of pads on existing rotors, as the rotors were grooved and had some weird wear patterns on them. I was tempted to mike them to see if they were below spec. I suspect they were.
