they prob'ly only tried the cheepchinetinfoil (aftermarket) supplier.
Shops that are "insco approved" know how to cut the corners to keep the
insco happy.
Parts are "sourced" in the software they use. (urotype
cheepcihineechit) not in the software=NLA

Paging Dan (the Parts Man) - do you have the eBay store link for the turn
signals for '95 124? They are the second generation clear type.
Picked up the car this afternoon, but Geico still trying to figure out what
my buy-back cost will be. Going to start gathering up parts and then

You can find bits easy enough. If it’s driveable it can be a work in progress

Well Geico calls it a total loss. Very few aftermarket parts that met
their standards were available (headlamp, bumper impact strip) so the rest
(bumper, fender) were MB-only and they really drove up the estimate. Geico
valued the car at about $3500 which I think is fair, I'm waiting for them
to
Thanks Mitch, that will be my route if they decide to total the car and I
buy it back.

I just checked car-part.com.
LH fenders (it is left, not shark gill?) run $60-100 in Michigan in A-0

Grade A, 0 units of repair needed. (but I've gone to pick up A-0s and found
dents or rust spots in them before, best to talk to somebody on the phone while
he's looking at the part i

A used fender would be fine in my book, if original MB steel. Probably

liner - I'd patch it and forget it.
I wonder if they've already tried to get the parts from MB and found them
NLA?

I will definitely buy it back. Going to have a salvage title if that
happens. I think I can easily drive this car another 50k or 100k miles.

See if you are able to source the parts for your own self and if the shop will
accept them for install. Seems the insurance droid is mentally challenged. I
talked to the shop when the SD got hit. Amica/Liberty mutual were head up the
rectum about the work, but the shop was willing to work wit
If you don't buy it back, it'll be another copart car.

After a week at the Geico / Repair shop, I called the adjuster to see
what's going on. She says they are having a hard time finding a source of
parts for my old car. Damage is to the fender, turn signal, front bumper,
