Pierre, This is one of the best videos you have ever produced. What I liked about this video is you validated many of the online shops that I have used like SL Shop, Authentic Classics, Niemoeller and special mentions like DBDepot in Germany which I have also used. I also use AutohausAZ and Pelican Parts. I live in Kenya and all the parts you have mentioned that I have used have been reliable sources. Thank you for this video.
@@myredute true, but look at spareto... They do better than pelican, and their shipping is reasonable for global shipments. It's also fast, Italy to California in 4 days is pretty impressive.
Great video.I owned probably around 30 classics in my life . Is good to know more places to buy parts. I am downsizing and want to sell one now .Pierre worked in my cars and like always very satisfied.

Dear Pierre, i need your knowledge....help! I m trying for weeks to make my 450sl california 1980 running. It starts, but falls out after a few sec. after a few attents i doesnt start anymore..my airflow meter has not been connected and my wur has never been replaced....can find the connicting plug for the airflow meter...kind regards from the Netherlands
SL shop is great, and they advise you also. The only problem is additional customs for our country. So in the end is almost the same if I buy original part form MB.
Hell yeah Spareto, cheaper than rock auto for better parts! Thanks for putting this together. I needed that recommendation for Cabrio, I need to replace the springs in my 201 driver's seat. Also, McMaster-CARR for hardware. They have it and if they don't you can get them on the phone and they know what you're talking about and where to find it. For W201 and some W124 performance parts RPM Depot is awesome.
I have a 1983 380 SEC, I need a THERMAL VACUUM VALVE, all sites I have looked at show out of stock and no longer available. I’d there another part I can use?
From $6K to $73K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
VENTURING into the trading world without the help of a profesionals, trading and expecting profit is like turning water into wine you would need a miracle.
Very engaging right from the beginning These are tough and frankly I appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way. Business and investment
Experted Ann Marie strunk was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Maria strunk.
Just sold a property in Alaska and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe but Is this a time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Great information, a lot these businesses I already use, but it is interesting to hear your thoughts on them. I live in England but I have many vacations in Germany and often pre-order parts and collect them directly from Niemöller in Mannheim. That saves on the shipping and taxes which since the stupidity of Brexit has gone mad. Good video.
Pretty sure you twist and pull up on it. I don’t think they are threaded cap per say. I think they are just a trigger plunger type rubberized cap that just snaps on and off
That's interesting you say that about SLShop because I'm not too concerned about whether something is "reproduction" or "aftermarket" when they don't tell me the actual brand of the part. Sometimes I'm lucky tonsee it in the picture, but not always... Just like Uncle Kent, not disclosing when he sells Uro and Meyle. Now I'd buy from SLShop any day over Mercedessource... but please let me know: if you think I'm wrong, please correct me.
You didn't mention MBZ Parts, but I had a bad experience with them. Their parts are overpriced, used, and often in worse condition than what's advertised.
@mikehidiroglou9699 his face, his mannerisms and how he speaks. He is tired of working on abandoned cars. He would be doing way better if he just did service on late model Mercedes
@@Butch_officiaI His advice is good. I own two older Mercedes, and I agree with what Pierre says. My love and care for those cars have not faded in the 30 years I have owned them. I continually learn about them, and I would think that Pierre is still learning. Parts are getting very difficult to get. Do you own a classic Mercedes?

Great resource! Thank you.
What a gem of a video! Thanks very much for sharing your tips experience in sourcing classic MB parts!
My first post, many, many thanks for the information, comments & the links. Will save this episode for future reference.
Outstanding video, very useful information as always! Thanks
You left out one of the best from the US................Pelican Parts. I've bought many good parts at realistic prices!

I came here from Spike's Car Radio (first video episode). Jerry Seinfeld watches your show and extolled its virtue.
He might just be about to get a Spike in viewers and subscribers
Great video.I owned probably around 30 classics in my life . Is good to know more places to buy parts. I am downsizing and want to sell one now .Pierre worked in my cars and like always very satisfied.
Interesting list. Those usually come up in my search results whenever I work on the W108, other than the Italian supplier. I'm surprised about #1.
Thanks for the links ....
Do you need a hearing aid or are you just lazy?
Much appreciated thanks.
Even the old Guy in South Africa is great with good parts.

Thank you for the video. What has been your experience with Vintage Euro Parts?… thinking of purchasing a firewall pad from them.
Brilliant vid thank you

I'm new to MB. 1990 300CE. Thanks.

Jerry Seinfeld sent me. Love the knowledge.

Thomas. Please add links to the places Pierre mentioned. Thank you.
Great info. Better if you put the link or the website adress.

Is Adsitco any good?
What about interior parts for a 124 Cabrio?
This reminds me of a geico commercial
Heard about this channel from Jerry Seinfeld on Spikes Car Radio.
EbayUK or German EBay if you know German tho often they have a write up also in English

The fact that I got to learn and earn from her program is everything to me think about it, it's a win-win for both ways.

Was Cohline OE on Mercs? I saw a lot of it on mine but I thought Conti also was also an OE hose supplier?
Cohline seems to have been an OE Supplier to MB. The main fuel supply hose on my 190E says cohline on it with an MB star printed alongside the name.
Wonderful information very helpful
How do open the cap on the reservoir to put hydraulic fluid in there? For SLS pump on my Mercedes 560sel 1990
Pretty sure you twist and pull up on it. I don’t think they are threaded cap per say. I think they are just a trigger plunger type rubberized cap that just snaps on and off
The cap screws on, the the level indicator pulls right off... Rubber on rubber. Just pull it off. Try not to break it.

I know you specialize in stock Mercedes Benz, what about performance parts?
I'M ONLY HERE CUZ JERRY TALKED ABOUT YOU
I feel so generic. I get most of my parts for my classic MBs from PelicanParts, Autohaus or Rockauto.
Me too. I use those three and eBay.
Thanks Pierre! It’s sometimes a challenge for my 107 parts.
Buds Benz in Douglasville Georgia has all the parts you will need. Talk to the owner David Latham.
How is "knee-muller" spelled? Thanks, have not heard of them - found it it -Niemoller
You didn't mention MBZ Parts, but I had a bad experience with them. Their parts are overpriced, used, and often in worse condition than what's advertised.
They are awful
I've sold Pierre a couple NOS parts on ebay. Always very random things.

What about Jerry? Is he even a Trump supporter? 😂
This guy is getting burned out
What makes you say this?

@@Butch_officiaI funny he seems the same as always to me, albeit with longer hair and more annoying intro music 🤣
