I called feldman and asked for the parts department. I gave the person who was working the vin of the car that i was working on, and located the oil filter housing i was looking for. I noted the price given to me as $158 and asked for a quote number which I was given as B57982. I called the customer, confirmed the price, called back, and gave the quote number. I was told that the quote number did not exist, and that the cost for this part is actually $225. He told me he had no idea why I was quoted $158, and that I could stay on hold til the person I originally talked to could talk to me. I declined his offer and said I would source the part somewhere else. Come to find out upon calling Mercedes of St Paul that I wasn't being told cost, but was told the list price when I was quoted $158. Cost ended up being $126.40.... At the shop I work at we help people by providing parts at cost, and so a difference of nearly $100 is absolutely critical to saving my customers money. Be careful.
