How much would this cost to fix??

[e55]

I saw this and thought it might be a good buy, but I am not sure what sort of repair costs would be involved.

Wonder if there is any internal/structural damage also.

Anyone have any ideas/opinions?

£500 for parts, £700ish for labour?

Is it recorded?

It depends on whether it's just been sideswiped by some Doris in Tesco's car park or the previous owner went 'back to nature' on a B-road. More details needed.

Add another Zero to that £500!

The rear cluster will be about £100, the Bumper £900, Wingmirror £200, Doors about £500, each, front wing, etc etc...

Looks as like it ended up on its side perhaps? - chassis doesnt appear to be bent though, still could be a bargin if certain parts should appear on eBay.

Used rear light £50, used door shells £150 each used wing £100 used mirror £100.

The bumper looks like it will go again, at the worst it might need an insert.

It does not need 5 grands worth of parts...

It looks like it's met oncoming traffic on a narrow road.

Just panel damage...

Rear bumper and doors are not cheap. Not many W211s at the scrappies and even if you could find one I doubt you could buy a door shell for £150 (assuming no damage to the window motors, door cards etc).
Anybody know for a fact how much an E55 bumper is? (Genuinely curious)
Will definitely be in the thousands to fix but looks cheap if not recorded.

No way you could get that perfect for £500, AMG bumpers cost the earth* & that has a large white crack right the way down it, + the park-tronic sensors maybe damaged etc.

Sourching all those exact parts could ages.

*W202 C43 bumpers are in the region of £700, so a E55 W211 is likely to be in the £1k's!

What about the respray costs!?

I'll sell you a door for £150, the bumper is an easy enough repair and I don't see why the doorcards or the insides of the doors should be damaged.

It's just a scrape...

It would cost about £700ish to panel it up and paint it at an independent body shop.

I don't see why the bumper would not repair...

Why are you still sat at your computer then Nick?
You should be half way to Yorkshire by now

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Without going on about how much it would/will cost forever - that would be a great project to work on!

 

[Shude]

Don't forget that the bumpers come in several parts and the outer shell is about half the price of the complete bumper. If you can get away with just a repair and a replacement impact strip (cheap) then the rear bumper would be done for very little money.

I don't want an E55.

BTW even new the parts aren't all that much: doors list at £303 bumper £693 Wing £214...

You'd think the owner would just get it fixed.

Thats not a project, a real project would be to drop the Engine into a W124 Coupe and break the rest

A project for us Mortals who dont know there way around oily areas

 

[Howard]

Shame even in the state it's in , it's still £18900 out of my price range then

 

[C43AMG]

Or into the C43

 

[ADY1983]

Or into the C43

Yeah that would be interesting 5.5L W202

 

[bigk]

thats not the first time that car has been listed on there. Maybe there is some problem we dont know about?!?!
