2002 SL500 Bumper Cover
Cleaning out the garage, I found an original AMG bumper cover from my old 2002 SL500. Painted Desert Silver, has the usual crack underneath from a parking lot stop.
List price new is $1,800. Best offer.
Pickup only in Tampa.

You're kind of in a catch-22 here...
The only people who would likely want it at any kind of a decent price would be people trying to replace their own cracked bumper...but this one was already replaced because it was damaged. Soooo...
My advice = Take it to the body shop and have it fixed yourself, get it sanded and sprayed in primer, and then sell it. You can probably get $1k for it that way.
But generally speaking, I'm not sure how many people are in the market for an already-damaged bumper.
