SEC foglight lenses NLA UK

[GRAEME JOHNSON]

Do you remember the thread we had over on the 126 board about C126 foglight lens availability ?
It turned out that the left was NLA but the right was available for something daft like £22 plus VAT
At the time my dealer said there was something like 620 left I cant remember the exact figure but
I am sure I posted it.
At the time third party sellers on E-bay were asking around £49
Recently sellers are now asking around £149 so as I was in the dealers Today I asked about current
price and stock level and was told NLA and none in Germany
Now I know a few of us bought a couple to put away but where did they all go ?
So if you are in the US and did not get a spare at the time I would ring your dealer
Parts supply in the US seems separate from UK / Europe
If you can still get them in America it would be interesting to know how much they are and how
many are left

Sounds like someone scooped up 600+ at £22 and may plan to flip them for 10x what they paid...

You could well be right the main seller seems to be a part sales firm in Latvia and I made a
mistake they are asking £176 !
Now you may well be ok in the US ,I needed a sunroof seal and the price was horrific in the UK
it had gone up so much from the last one I bought that I could only assume Mercedes had run out
and had a new batch made at a new price, but Gerry very kindly bought me one at his local dealer
and shipped it to me and it was the original price still
So the US is a much bigger market and your dealers may still have them and if you didnt buy one
before, grab one now while/if you still can
