Need a tail-lamp lens/assembly, driver side by martinf

Someone just backed into my almost new R500. I need a driver's side rear tail lamp lens or assembly (I think they only sell as one piece). Does anyone know of a source of used parts from custom shops or salvage places? I have seen a number of "blacked out" custom R's that have replaced the rear tail lamp lenses with almost black lenses. I did see a rear tail lamp assembly on ebay for $59, but it was for the passenger side, not the driver side. Thanks!!

2007 R350 Prices by cary28

A dealer contacted me to order a 2007 R350. Its too bad since I just picked up my 2006 loaded R350(Desert Silver/Macadamia) last week. I checked dealer prices for the 2007, and it looks like MB has made some adjustments. Here is just a snapshot, as I'm sure more details will be coming out:
 
1. MSRP for the R350 is now $43,000 w/o destination
2. MSRP for the R500 is now $50,500 w/o destination
3. A premium I and premium II package is available
4. The premium II cost a little over $8000, but includes most options
5. A rear camera is now included in the premium II package, along with Hands Free Communications
 
I checked with a couple other dealers, and it looks like the 2007s are just beginning to show up. With these aggressive prices, there is probably little room for discounts, but you never know. I'm sure the $7K dealer discount won't apply to the 2007s either, so good luck.

Whoa, that is a as big a price drop I've seen on any Mercedes since 1994! Both the R350 and R500 are 5K cheaper for 2007, including shipping. That and the revised packages should help get them moving a little better now, but MB has to put some advertising behind the R again too.
 
Germans it seems never say quit and MB hasn't yet given up on the weakest of the Bama triplets.

Think of it as the current $5 dealer incentive being applied to the MSRP

Yep, that is exactly what it is.
 
Any word on the MSRP for the R320 CDI or R63 AMG?

Wow. Haven't seen that before. I suppose it's better that they address this now, but as an owner (rather than a lessee) it's killing me if I ever get decide to trade this car.

Thats why its better to lease. When the lease is up, you then could decide if you like the car or not. Look at what the pay off is and look at the Blue Book value. If your payoff is low and you like the car, then buy it. If the payoff is high and you like the car, you could try to renegotiate with Mercedes. Mercedes will negotiate. If you don't care for the car, just turn it back in.

I have leased in the past, and fully understand the pros/cons. I never really liked to lease, though, given the mileage I generally put on and kids (wear and tear)...there aren't any real advantages for me.
