UK? if so... would depend on who carried out the repairs... eg new soft top is MB part? etc... all these will affect value. otherwise £11k sounds ok. not much more though exceptional standard.

Steel Grey 2012 ML350 is wife's
1996 clean with xenon's, good canvis and hardtop.. I see retail $19000.

No hardtop deduct at least $1500 and I would think deduct 25-30% for salvage title..

... you're about right on IMO

One word of advice...never buy a salvage car to drive even if you save 50% off retail.You may end up with $10,000 in repairs fast and still have a salvage car that no one will give you anything for.Better to buy it with the idea of parting it out...
