    All Mercedes parts can be bought used for as cheap as any ford at Star Motors
    website. Put Star Motors into a search engine, you'll find it. Brake disc for a
    450 SL is $23 for example. Mercedes parts are not expensive and the aftermarket
    dissassembly of them is a huge buisness. DO NOT GO TO THE DEALER!
    Kind regards,
