This starter will fit Mercedes-Benz with the V6 and V8 engines which are found on several models such as the C CL CLK E G ML R S SL SLK SLR AMG class and on Chrysler Crossfire. It was on sale for less than $100, see link here. In our case we bought this starter on Amazon. You will need a new starter which you can buy online at a fraction of the dealer cost or even the retail parts store. Double check the battery or try jump starting the car to see if the car will start. If you get a click or several clicks when you try to start the car it is possible that you may have a weak battery or a bad battery terminal connection. Make sure to troubleshoot the problem correctly because changing the starter on a Mercedes-Benz is not an easy task.
