2013 C350 Coupe front bumper replacement cost?

Hi All,

A few days ago one of my housemates backed into the front of my 2013 c350 coupe. The bumper had previous blemishes including a cracked DRL strip. The bumper had to be popped back into place and looks okay but not flush. Before I eventually sell the car i'll need to replace the bumper. Can anyone give me an estimated cost of parts plus labor? I'm getting an actual estimate this week but I'd like to start running some numbers now. I also want to let the housemate know about how much so she can get her finances in order to pay me. On another note, I should avoid having her claim it on insurance right?

Thanks,

Hillsy

Sorry about your situation.

That being said, most of us know that parts for these 'gems' are costly.

Took many years before I came under the MB spell. I feel your pain.

all the best (and keep us in the loop)

I don't know exactly how much a front bumper would be but as to the insurance, I would avoid having her claim it, it would just be easier if she paid for the bumper. Insurance companies take forever to pay out and they'll screw you and your roommate over somehow.

Have you tried Ebay or the like for a used one? In the uk there’s loads for sale at a fraction of the cost of a new one and then have it painted and fitted
