So, just 5 minutes ago i called my local mercedes dealer to ask about seatbelt extension, simply because today i discover the rear-right one is stop working. And they ask me 1200 bucks for it.

Please.

Luckily when i go to the internet i found a cheaper solution, by replacing the gears inside that thing using the gears from the W124, altough maybe for this week i won't let anywone sit in the back.

Talk about price gouging, can't you go to a local pull-a-part?

Seat belt extensions don't cost $1200 on a Toyota :p

They have a V12 but they don't offer it over here :(

I'd love to see an LS-F with that V12 from the JDM Crown. It would be nice to have a Japanese V12 in the US market.

HA, yeah.

Maybe you can take comfort that they carry parts for every car they've ever manufactured.

That way people can buy the car 5 times over...
