pulled the rear shocks on my wife's e500 wagon last night, with the intent of swapping them with a low-mile set I bought on ebay for $400 (a *cough* bargain). get the car pulled apart, only to find the ones I bought were for a sedan and they do NOT fit.

So now the car is apart leaving me in a pinch, and the shocks are $750 each at the dealer. Found them for $400 each at parts.com, but they'll only ship to the US, so I have to drive to Maine on Friday to pick them up!
