Rebuilt, Rebuildable & Reconstructed

We purchased this car from the insurance company and repaired the following with new OEM Mercedes parts:Rear strut mount, left rear wheel, left outer quarter panel ( all panels are prepainted) rear lower valence. The left door plastic skin is slightly damaged but we will provide a new one(prepainted) or reduce price by $137; buyers choice.The car now runs and drives perfect and you can drive anywhere. The only thing remaining is the repair or replacement of the metal B pillar behind the drivers side door and the replacement of the radio. [The radio that was in the car had special features and was removed. A used am/fm CD radio can be purchased used for $75; or one with GPS for around $400.] Once these parts are replaced the car will again be in brand new condition. The original sticker price including optional air conditioning and electric power steering was $14,642 less than 4 months ago. The car will come with a salvage receipt which means it most likely will need an inspection once the b-pillar has been repaired in order to get either a salvage title or clear title depending on final destination. Let me explain further. When the car is damaged, it is a subjective call whether it deserves a salvage title or not. When that is decided, [in Colorado] it is given a salvage title. When it is repaired, it is inspected and then is given another title called a rebuilt from salvage title. Some States and American territories will just give it a regular title; but it will still maintain its carfax designation. This car is meant for someone who is going to keep it for 5 years, drive it, and then sell it. The salvage designation becomes less important as the car gets older; but at the same time you can buy it almost new now for a substantial savings.If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If you would like to personally inspect the car, please make arrangements 48 hrs ahead of time.

This IS a reserve auction!On Dec-26-13 at 12:38:20 PST, seller added the following information: We have had a couple of estimates to both repair and replace the damaged piece. Either way is around $1,000. We have found a used complete B-pillar for $200 if you are interested in replacing rather than repairing. If the reserve isn't met, we will have it repaired and relisted. Thx.On Jan-01-14 at 08:49:14 PST, seller added the following information: I have been asked if I will have the car repaired if they are the successful bidders. The answer is yes for $1000 including paint work done by professionals. [This does not include the radio] Car must be paid for before we will perform the repairs which should not take more than 2 weeks to schedule and one week to actually do the work.
