Damage est?

Since its a Merc, I'm guessing somewhere in the $12,000 range?

 

I'll bite, $23 900.

 

You got itm $23,095 as of right now before tear down to find more damage no doubt. The headlight alone is $2960!

Brian

 

Damn I'm good!

 

Wow. You could build a decent running small-block for 3 grand...

or you could have a headlight. Do these things really have equal value?!

Is a rebuilt motor better than a diamond ring? There is a good chance the one on your wifes finger cost more than the motor in your hot rod, so what is your point?

By the way, after tear down I am at just a bit shy of $27,000 for the repair.

Damn, I'm working on the wrong cars! LOL

 

Hey Brian, send it to me......I'll do it for 20,000, and let you keep the rest! LOL Jerry

 

??????????

HI,if it was
my car,i would fix it myself,and keep the money in MY pocket.unless the insurance company is paying..

 

Estimate

Well, if you can afford to OWN it, then I guess you can afford to FIX it.

Personally, if it was mine, I'd fix the mechanicals and to heck with the cosmetics

 

Damn My wife just had a hip replacement last week,, her complete bill wasn't but 28K including the 11K $ hip
fixing minor damage like that on a ego car is ridiculous,, why not total it?? are they that expensive that the insurance can afford to pay that kind of money to have it reaired?

Obviously I'm not up on the prices of high fulutin ego rigs,,, :nono:

 

New they are around $120,000, a used 2008 is around $80,000.

Guess I'll never have to worry about getting one repaired then,

 

If I was spending that kind of money, I would get a Cadillac XLR. Don't care how they compare performance wise, that Cadillac looks evil.

I like the looks of those XLR's too,, I have a friend that has 1,, pure luxury

 

New it was around $120,000, a used 2008 is around $80,000.

It was $140K new and it's value in the Michell estimating system I use at $105K The estimate is at 27% of value as I remember.

Yeah! That's pretty Crazy! That's why I'm going to school to learn bodywork. It will save myself a whole lot of money over the years! Even if I choose something else, I'll always know how to do it.

You'd be working for free buddy, the parts alone are $20,790.

Brian

 

LOLOLOL, you guys are going to get a kick out of this. I sent up the order for the parts and the parts guy at Mercedes called me. He said I would love to sell you that bumper valance but I think you chose the wrong one.

Seems I had clicked on the wiz bang rear bumper valance instead of the "standard" $456 dollar one the car has I was ordered a frigging $6500 carbon fiber one!!!

In one delete of a part my repair is down to under $20k.

STILL too damn expemsive

 

The headlight alone is $2960!

Brian

WTH Are these parts hand-built by artisans in a small remote workshop in the Bavarian countryside?

 

Here is the invoice for the strut, fender, and headlamp. $5620.00 $1124.00 profit in three parts, I love this business!

Brian

 

headlight isn't expensive I wouldn't say... OEM headlight for a 2002 Chrysler Concorde is over $500, and there no hundred thou vehicle.... but everything else.. I guess it's nice to have GOOD insurance or DEEP pockets

 

Here's what the inside of a $3000 head lamp looks like.
