STARTER SOLENOID FOR MERCEDES 81-99:eBay Motors
Ebay price is a lot different from what shops charge. The price at the shop I use was $47; I don't think the price for a Mercedes solenoid is going to be less!

This Plymouth does seem to be reliable... original engine and transmission and rear axle. I am surprised how many things are working. For instance, it has a rear air defroster (the forced-air type) and when I turned it on the air was blowing through the vent quite strong. And a red light which blinks when the parking brake is set and the ignition is on still works!

Of course, it doesn't have that many miles but is still a 43-year-old car.
