Q: Do you know of a source for used Mercedes parts for my 1986 Mercedes 560SL? I have exhausted my efforts. (I'm not great with the computer.) Actually, I'm looking for a set of tan carpets, front and rear. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.
A: If you can get on your computer or have someone to help you, go to www.germanstar.net. If you don't have that access, you can call them at 800-377-6598. I have had great luck finding Mercedes parts at German Star at a very fair price. The counterpeople are extremely helpful, as well.
Car Care Tip: If you change to snow tires in the winter and you plan to keep your car for six or more years, it may cost you less to mount the snow tires on a set of used rims and avoid the mounting and balancing fees every year.
