Hello everyone,
I've just signed up after purchasing my first MB. I've been brave (stupid?) and bought a cat S C43 Estate 2019. I'd wanted to change to a C43 some years back from my current Audi A5 2.0 tsfi but after the Covid lark the prices jumped and i was priced out the market. The money i'd had reserved got spent elsewhere and sadly my dream of owning the C43 faded into just a dream.
Fast forward to this week and i'd spotted on on auction. I did my research, worked out a max price and decided to take the plunge and go for it. I was absolutely bricking it and to some extent still are. I've not even received the car yet so won't know the full extent of the damage. I appreciate some will say this is stupid, etc and i'm ok with that.
Anyway - i'm sure i'll be all over these forum threads looking for help and advice and as my knowledge improves I may also be able to help others as i find my way through the repairs.
The damage - if anyones interested is front end. It looks as though something hit the car at about 45 degs on drivers side. Front drivers wing destroyed, bonnet pushed up, drivers headlight gone, most likely damage to drivers side suspension arms, whole front end radiator frame has moved. Probably a million plastic bits and bobs broken - ahhh let the fun / nightmare begin!
