Sorry about the message below, completely off topic. I intended to
send it to a friend in The Netherlands but it got scrambled in my
composition. Very Sorry.

Quick question,

In movies with foreign scenes in them, many of the cars are Mercedes
Benz. They must be less expensive there than here - replacement
parts cost several times what a similar part would cost for an
American car. I have spent, on my used 1998 SL500, in just 5 years,
more than I spent on 4 Corvettes over a 20-30 year time span. My
question is, do you know of anyone I can contact to see whether I can
get replacement parts for my cars, the 1998 SL500 and my wife's 1999 ML320?

Regards,

However, are these cars just in the background or
featured? If featured they may be "product placements"
that is paid commercials. When Lassies mother has a box of
Wheaties on the breakfast table it didn't just happen to be
there. In the bad old days a lot of products in movies just
had fake labels, then they learned how to sell commercials.

I don't know about your specific models, but last time I owned a
Mercedes the parts were very cheap if I sourced them myself. This was
in Australia, so no reason the US should be more expensive (apart from
they can charge more).

Order them directly from European/German sources online, you’ll save a bundle compared to the US and many other markets.
