Could one say 1500$ will get you out of almost any repair jam on an Sc?

I used to love the s500 benzes and i was saving up for one, then u do your research and find out tranny replacement is $7000 and the suspension is in the thousands as well, its enough to scare you off completely, most other "nice" cars are the same, jaguar, bmw, audi, we are actually very lucky I think in that respect.

It is a very comforting though man , most parts are easy to find and VERY cheap, it is another reason why I love the Sc platform.

Sorry should've clarified, I was talking about mostly doing things like pulling dents from non removable on the vehicle and then having it repainted if the paint cracks or is really wavy.
For example soccer ***** hitting the roof and putting dents in it or careless people at the mall that fling their doors open

I can attest to this. Recently had someone back into the front of my car in the parking lot at my apartment complex. $1550 is what her insurance gave me for a new front bumper, fender, headlight and paint.

Is that how some handle claims these days? Don't you have a say? (I haven't filed a claim in 20 years, I have no idea).
The platform is not perfect but reading about a guy replacing the front end on an audi recently inspired this thread. It looked like a nightmare.
