Sad day two weeks ago, my mom got into an accident with her pristine 95 E320 with only 70k miles (some jackass failed to yield and made a left turn in front of her). Damage isn't as bad as it looks. Long story short, they are only offering her $7800 for total loss.......or keep the car plus $5800. I am buying the car off of her for only $2k which is basically the difference.

So I need the parts mentioned in the title, pls let me know. There should be some headlights out there since I see some projector headlight threads......

A damn shame on how much these cars are valued nowadays.......

Thanks in advance.

95 e320...sold the rest
How bad is the damage? Is there any problems with the frame? If not, then you should be good...but after accidents on these cars, sometimes the fenders, hood, etc don't align correctly...so check it out

It looks much worse than it actually is, the motor runs just fine and no weird noises coming out as well. The radiator support and radiator is pushed in from what I can tell. The front bumper, hood/grille, passenger fender, and drivers headlight/corner needs to be replaced. I'm hoping the frame is ok but I'll know more over the weekend once its towed back home. I'll snap some pics then.

Also worried about replacing the airbags, I hear they can be quite pricey.......

I've always wanted a project car, but not this one as it was the first Benz that our family owned, sentimental value is a b!tch I guess......

Thanks
Francis
