With Mercedes parts.. paint, trim drive train was all MB, most drive line and under car items were installed by Porsche techs. Trim, interior, paint were MB and were installed by MB. Their job was to modify the uni-body which they did from platforms that moved around the factory like pallets to accept the 500 and 600SL chassis and drive train and to hang the body parts. MB would do paint,between segments of assy. Porsche was not setting the world on fire during the early 2000's because of a global rescission.
My 300 CE (1992) sold new for $62,500($118K today) with cd in trunk and sunroof
My current 92 500E was $83,500 with CD and sunroof. So yes, a "Wolf in sheep's clothing" cost about $20K more.
It was worth it at twice the price.
