Tearjerking C class story O_o
So. i finally got my 99 c280, i had a salvage 96 silver c220 before and it was time for a new C. im still selling it.. because i loved my first one so i thought why not upgrade to a better C cause the old one was so good to me as a first car.
So hear this.. the day i was going to buy my car (white c280) i had it checked out by my mechanic and it was a green light. The girl i was buying from got into an accident with it the same day!! two hours before i was going to pick it up.
So after two weeks of her dealing with her insurance.. the insurance company salvaged the car there wasnt more than maximum two thousand damage on it, i went to the accident site and saw it being put onto the flatbed tow truck. both front fenders, front bumper, right side mirror. cosmeticallt thats it. later found out it needed right control arm and oil pan.. THATS IT.
so i told the girl to buy it back and i would give her 500$ over her cost. so it ended up costing me 3650 and fixing it will not cost more than 1500 max.
so she got 10K from the insurance, i was going to pay her 7500 for it, its very clean 80,000 miles on it.
so now i am going to trick it out with 19 inch 6 spoke black rims and black the back lights put clear corners and limo tint the windows. on an artic white car
so it worked out for both of us in the end. she got an extra couple thousand and im finished with the car at 5 thousand.. for the cleanest 99 c class youve seen.
so it ended up nice.. i will keep you posted and put up a picture when the car is complete, and maybe even the pictures of the damage it had.
