What do you think?

I need a driver's side heated mirror for my 1998 GLE. I called the dealer and he said $185. I asked a repair shop to get me one... $120. Then a co-worker mentioned a site to go to. I browsed and I saw this ridiculously low price... $41.27. I'm hesitant to order the mirror. I feel since it's not an OEM mirror, and with that price, something may not be "right". What do you guys think?

Seems legit, it's been my experience that non-oem parts usually will work fine, but I just trust oem parts more. I want to keep my car in as much of "show room" condition as I can. But hey if the price difference is worth it... but do what you want.

Something seems wrong. How can a heated mirror be less than a non heated mirror. They both power. I would call b4 orderiing it to make sure.

How about getting one the right color from an autowrecker?
