2005 CDI with 201k miles
runs great and drives very well
was hit lightly on the drivers side front corner (R-title)...you can see the damage and repairs here:
2005 w211 CDI fix

Nothing was bent other than the headlight bucket support and the front support was pushed up about a half inch over the HL assembly.

I was originally going to replace the bumper cover but decided the one on there was salvageable, and had the 'doors' for the HL washer ports.

This minor damage caused the car to be salvaged by the insurance company (possibly the cost of the special bumper and active headlight?), so it now has a Reconstructed Pa. title.

This car is heavily optioned with sunroof, rear sunshade and door shades, navigation, CD changer, massaging seats, and active headlights.
The black interior is in good condition and all options (aside from the ones mentioned below) are working.
Good condition matching set of Goodyear Assurance all-season tires on stock wheels.

Unfortunately, the active headlights are not working due to replacing the damaged unit on the driver side with an "inactive" headlight.

Car has been reassembled and is pretty close. The hood hinge might need to be replaced as the hood don't sit down all the way. I have one and i will try to get the installed just so its done. The rest of the paint is ok and i think the hood, fender and bumper could be color-matched pretty cheaply and the car would look great.
I bought a can of #368 Flint gray color coat on ebay......and did the fender but not the hood.

I have been looking around at these cars, as you have if you're serious about getting one, and the price ranges from around $3k for ones in need to $7-10k for super low-mileage, one owner, dealer serviced cars.

This car is in between so i have the asking price in between.
trying to get pictures but ya know.....
$3500 firm

If u dealt with making the hood sit flush I'd be more inclined to buy it.

But haha I know how it is when selling a car, it comes to a point where you just aren't gonna fix anything else and let the buyer do it.

Lemme think about this though. I've been looking for one of these cheap somewhat fixer upper cdis for a couple years now. Just gotta figure out if it makes sense still after shipping prices

i was thinking about swapping out the hinge on that side and see if that helps it
i like this one more than the other cdi i have.....drives out perfectly, tons of power, decent options

let me know
