Whoo hoo. I found a mercedes/porsche salvage specialist that has an undamaged door that is already the proper color. This means my insurance check will not only replace the door but will cover the fuel injection problem as well. |

Well they are like 1500 miles away, not exactly local. Finding the body part undamaged in the same color locally would be too good to be true. --- Quote from: danny_galaga on February 13, 2008, 05:09:28 am --- --- Quote from: paigeoliver on February 11, 2008, 05:42:08 pm --- The secret to driving the "bargain" high end cars is realizing that they are going to eat a few grand a year in maintenance and repairs, and that you can't just expect them to act like a 1994 Honda. --- End quote --- good to know you arent deluded like some of my friends :) im happy with the 2 or 3 hundred a year upkeep of my vw ;D good news with the mercedes wreckers. and especially the door! become very good friends with those guys... --- End quote --- |

Welcome back Paige - Well, not sure how long you've been back, but anyway .... |

I have been back part time for maybe a few months. Also, the smurfs at the salvage place refused to ship the door, so I got a brand new one instead, it came out of the body shop friday and I drove it straight to the import specialist to get the fuel injection problems repaired. If they actually looked at it saturday then I might very well have it back by next weekend. The place is open on saturday and I dropped it off right before they closed friday and they DID pull it inside a garage, which is a good sign. You can get basically every single part on that car still (my door was brand new from the local Mercedes dealership), although you usually have to order them, you can't even get spark plug wires for the thing at the auto parts store. |
