Fun related fact: The dashboard for a 1st-gen Volvo S80 costs around $3000; as much as the entire car.

That is an S-Class Merc, early 90s, and the cost is $1,375.50 plus tax. There, I said it.

Thinking it’s just over $200.

G_Body_Man: Sponsored by the number 3 > Steve in Manhattan
03/14/2016 at 13:59

Close. It’s a 500SL, and it’s somehow dearer than $1375.50.

$4700 from your local Mercedes-Benz dealer, because the part is not available and would have to be manufactured and shipped from das Vaterland.

I drove the 6 cylinder version (dated an asst. service manager at a Merc dealership). Heavy, even with the inline 6. It was by no means a sports car, but it would certainly be a good GT on a long trip.

Probably being some rare part to find new, therefore I estimate it at $9500. Knowing the window switch of a 600 grosser is about double that I should be in the right ballpark.

Indeed.

G_Body_Man: Sponsored by the number 3 > TheHondaBro
03/14/2016 at 14:23

Bust, but since it’s only by $1, it falls under my personal leeway rule. Therefore, you win!

UPDATE: Called too soon. Sorry HondaBro, KusabiSensei won.

OK - will venture another guess, and it’s the last time I will weigh in. $2,225.57 plus tax. If I’m right, I’ll donate all of my winnings to Wounded Warrior. There is a cash prize, right?

G_Body_Man: Sponsored by the number 3 > Steve in Manhattan
03/14/2016 at 14:31

No cash prize here, and the final answer is $4700. KusabiSensei got it.

Oh shit - didn’t see this before my last post. So you get the console and all the switchgear for that price? Or just the wood?

Just the wood, and not even the little wooden door to the storage compartment, or any backing plates.

03/14/2016 at 14:50

For $4700 is it at least a single piece of solid wood (apart from the compartment bit that opens)? It'd be a real kick in the pants if it was just a veneer.

It’s a veneer laid overtop of a wooden support.

I could slice up some plywood with a SkilSaw ... and I’d get more than a few laughs with that piece installed in an old Merc.
