Searching for roof rack cross bars to install on my 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320. Considering OEM or aftermarket (Yakima, Thule, etc), but would like to avoid cheap ebay bars.
I've been keeping an eye on local craigslist and scrap yards, haven't found much yet. Any other recommendations or ideas on where to look?

Also looking for some other parts as well..
1. Rear bumper cover (1998-2001 style)
2. Gas cap w/retainer strap
3. Passenger seat bottom (1998-1999 style - tan, heated)
4. Passenger side mirror housing (1998-1999 black plastic)
5. Spare wheel carrier bracket
6. OEM all-weather rubber floor mats
7. Rear cargo roller cover (black or tan)
8. Fender flares
Thanks for your response, I am planning to go with a large 'safari' basket but I'd still be interested to know what your asking price is for the whole system or just the bars if you do sell the box separate.
I was in your same boat. ML had no factory roof cross rails.
Our '00 e320 wagon came with them - bit of a rare accessory, but they didn't fit the ML (too narrow - the MB ones - ours, anyway) only fit the width of the e-wagon. ML is around 5" wider at roof rails.
So we searched & found a nice affordable alternative on Amazon.
Here's the review I wrote for them, hope it helps:
Went to Re-Rack in Portland. Got a set of Rocky Mounts and the Yakima basket, locks, and fairing installed for around 500.00. Looks great and I have actually used the basket
Yeah my front and rear are Black Horse, I love them, my truck just doesnt look right (IMHO) without them.
The basket with the fairing doesnt make any noise that I notice. In the summer I drive to the beach, all windows down and sunroof open and it doesnt bother me at all.
