No you have wasted a day and you will still pay $375, probably with 
freight added.


$375
+ 8 hr X $50.hr = $400

All to save from paying me $500.

I will offer you mine for the low low price of $1000 and for that you 
get FREE SHIPPING!!!


Act now, this offer won't last!

I took some pics, my phone is misbehaving to send mails for some reason 
not clear, and getting the pics onto this computer if I can't email them 
is also problematic

offered to do the work. I went to the shop where the adjuster held court

I drilled the bumper on my 83 240D and ran screws through it and the mount. 
With the screws countersunk they would have been hidden my the trim, if I'd 
ever reinstalled it...

Re: [MBZ] ISO W123 rear bumper for my 300TD

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

A few years back SWMBO was stopped at a light in the 300TD when a full size 
motorcycle drove into her at speed. The motorcycle was totaled, but luckily the 
rider was not seriously hurt. The rear bumper was imperceptibly dented in the 
center. She did not want to bother to make a claim, so I offered to do the 
work. I went to the shop where the adjuster held court once a week. I received 
a check for $1,700.00 for the surface scuff on the rear hatch where the rider's 
helmet hit the rear hatch and $1,100.00 for the cost of a USED replacement 
bumper since new were NLA! ELEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!

It was just before Christmas too.

Greg

Subject: [MBZ] ISO W123 rear bumper for my 300TD

My rear bumper literally fell off  the bumper shocks this afternoon with no 
warning and I was unable to shove it back one.  I've been told this is not 
repairable and if this is true then need to replace it.  I have a used spare 
front bumper, but no rear, alas...

My first hope is that someone in this community has a spare rear bumper, but 
failing that, are there any junkyards that still sell used W123 parts?

I have one on my old TD I am going to knacker after I dismantle it, so I 
guess I could start now.  Make me an offer that does not include any el 
merde del gato.  I can go take pics of it and send them along, I think 
it is in OK condition.

Nuttin' but the best for Andrew.  I figgered he already had yuro bumpers 
on HIS cars.


I found a right side Yuro headlight for 123.  He could buy it too , then 
have one yuro and one US headlight!  It would be unique!


But yes, I would cut him a deal for both bumpers so he can upgrade his TD.
