Again, what is the market value of a rust-belt 2014 ML350 Bluetec with 188k 
miles and without the front-end damage?

What would it cost to have the damage repaired at a competent body shop?

The difference is the most the car is worth.

Re: [MBZ] 2014 ML350 Blutec - 188k miles - $7,900

2022-08-08 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
What's the value of the car with that age and mileage if undamaged?

What would it cost to have a competent body shop repair it?

Is the difference greater than zero?
