Son-in-law has MB 350 diesel. Spent $1,500 to replace a fuel hose.
A couple weeks later, my daughter scraped the passenger side to avoid an oncoming vehicle in a parking garage. Rear passenger door was dented and the rear quarter panel damaged. Repair estimate was $14,500 and there was discussion about writing off a $30,000 ( used value ) vehicle. It's in the shop for a month ( they say ).
She's driving a KIA rental.
