cl500
There is some pictures. I wonder why I should run away? the interior is perfect after all is 140000 car. I had read that engine and transmission is solid.
I have neighbor that owns body shop. I can get new bumper for 460 ?
It seems good quality radiator is 200 cheap ones start at 100. Air bag it is 70 to 250. I hope getting the bend straight should be cheap.

Even if it was in perfect shape I would still say run away. Read a little bit about the common 215 CL issues and ownership costs and you will probably change your mind. There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes.

Mercedes
You can buy a pristine one with no problems for $8000
Spending $3000 on that car is nuts , it will need more than $5000 of work
If you have the vin number type it into google , chances are the salvage auction report is still online showing the repair bill estimate
