Re: [MBZ] If it looks like crack it might be crack
Great information - thanks, Grant. Once shopped a pristine private sale 1979 450 SL C with some "light" hail damage. Very tempting but I couldn't pull the trigger and walked away, sadly...

Re: [MBZ] If it looks like crack it might be crack
My neighbor in Houston bought his in-laws' car that had been in a huge Texas hail storm, looked like little league batting practice had taken place on it. The inlaws got some few $k from the insco, used that to buy another car, and sold the beater to the SIL. He didn't really care as the car ran well, was fairly new and he figured it would get beat around more anyway. It was one of those roundy dodge or chrysler things. i think he finally gave it to one of his kids. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] If it looks like crack it might be crack
Dent Wizard is not a fix all kind of thing.. In my own experience, I bought a new 2002 Ford F 350 Diesel 4 door, 4X4 pickup, Out the door price a bit over $58,000, full coverage insurance [of course]. Fast forward 60 days, hail storm, windshield cracked in two places.. 18 hail dents in roof, 22 in hood. New windshield, new hood.. Dent Wizard repair on roof damage cost ran a bit over $3,400, plus shop labor to remove / replace headliner to access bottom of dents. Total dent repair cost for roof alone came to over $4,200. The truck bed was saved because it had a fiberglass camper shell on it which was also replaced. Total bill after two weeks in shop came to a bit over $11,000. I would expect shop rates have gone up since 2002, so to repair the hail damage on this vintage Mercedes, out of pocket costs would run something above that number, so a $6,000 purchase + say, $12,000 repair and repaint...

Re: [MBZ] If it looks like crack it might be crack
There was a video I saw a few months ago about some paintless dent repair guys doing hail damage on a late model Honda. It was pummeled and it took them like two days to get them all out. They said it was far cheaper than totaling the car. For some reason I thought the cost was a couple grand.

Re: [MBZ] If it looks like crack it might be crack
Hail damage is a body mans nightmare. Likely, if it had full coverage insurance [unlikely, due to the age of the car, few if any insurers would even write a full converge policy] it would be written off as a "total". Yet... a $6,000 price is being put on it? Forget the car.. spend the $6K on what ever drug the guy is on.. Return on Investment for that would be way better since it apparently causes total disconnect from reality.. To harsh?
