Default Post MB/Crossfire part numbers here

When I read the threads about problems members are having with their Crossfire it would appear that problems are to be found everywhere. Every car has problems, some more than others. The Crossfire is a very well assembled vehicle and the components are solidly made. I will not bother to name specific problems as we know what they are, these problems may be annoying but the vast majority of owners have had few if any of these problems.
We see problems that are common and ones that are less so. This car is an oddball and with its MB roots and Chrysler label, parts are sourced from MB (probably with minimal if any discount) and marked up for profit by Chrysler. The obvious solution is to purchase MB parts directly and bypass Chrysler.
To make this easier a thread should be started that lists Crossfire part numbers with the MB part number. We see some of these numbers in threads but they need to be in one place, not spread through thousands of threads and adding new numbers to to the list as they appear. This may take some time but as it passes we will need these parts more and more. There obviously is a master list available to Chrysler or they would not be able to order the part when you ask for it at the counter, so who can get one?
If MB model, year and VIN numbers are required to get a part then we should get some to match the parts, VIN's are on the dash for all to see. Change the build number and we have thousands of numbers.
