I think he was meaning $5600 estimate that was then raised to $20000 due to airbag deployment.
As for OP take it to a reputable autobody shop and have them inspect it if your concerned.

didnt' realize collision costs can be almost as much as a car's retail price lol
can you still try to part out or does it become ICBC's possession once written off?

56,000 for a Mercedes isn't too bad.
Mercedes wants $47,000 for a hardtop on the older 1998-2002 SL500's right now, with paint your up to nearly 50,000 before taxes. And a license plate mount for an AMG bumper was $1,800, which is basically a piece of square plastic.
However I found a hardtop on Craigslist for $100..

OP, I would definitely recommend that you run the VIN through ICBC because the car you are looking at sounds like the one I looked at... $8k damage claimed by dealer and $18k on ICBC record.
Good luck!

As most replies, $8000 claim is not that bad if the damage is not related with engine
Or frame.
But the only downside of having a claim like that if you are going to sell in the future.
50~70% of your buyer will be like you to hesitate in buying because of the claim.
Also dealer will give you much less if they see a claim, if you are trading in or selling to them.
Because they know it is much harder to sell a car with higher claim. Posted via RS Mobile | |
