Default Places to buy Parts Alternative to Dealerships?

I need a bunch of random stuff for the xfire

-Dust Cap for headlights
-Transmission Filler Cap
- Rear Side Marker

and a few more odds and ends, anybody know where I can get this stuff online, besides a dealer, preferably cheaper? Ive looked at a few places with no luck, like chrysler parts direct...etc..

Thank You

Best bet would be a boneyard, you may get lucky! I could be wrong but I think the auto transmission filler cap is a one time use item, probably could be had at the Mercedes Dealer.

Go to parts.com. If you want to avoid a dealership buy them online from a place like Parts.com. The only thing is you can't negotiate price and you have to pay shipping.

Some people say you can find parts cheaper at Mercedes dealerships. But it depends on the part you need. For example, don't think you will find side mirrors there.

You don't have to replace the whole cap only the locking tab. I believe they cost a couple bucks.

I would try the internet...


Seriously though, there is a user on the forum that has something to do with salvaging cars and some Crossfires have come up.

He might not be willing to pay $20 bucks to sell a $2.00 item though.


Good Luck.

SowardCustoms is still offering discounts I believe.

I use to go to Ebay but Ebay is quite disappointing me right now. I don't want to make a query through Craigslist cause for me it's more like a spam site.
