This is my wonderful cl I was wondering how long do any of your fine men think something like this would take to repair?
money is not the issue
Thanks.

$11,500












or coincidental you can buy my cl type s 6 speed white on black FRESH as can be :0)

11,500 seems a bit much if i do the work myself especially since i payed 9500 for the car itself. How much for your ride? also is it a 6 speed?

You should post more pics with the hood open from above so we can see more of the damage. I say 3 weeks to a month but there are a lot of factors that come into play so that's just a guess without seeing all the damage.

Any body shop could fix that in a week for a couple grand, ive seen worse- hopefully the frame is straight

Here are a few more pics i have i will try to take more another time.
I am going to be doing all the work myself with some help of a friend and a mechanic.

From what you've shown it doesn't look like the frame is bent but I can't be sure. How quick it gets done depends on how much time your going to spend working on it, how much you know and your friends know about what your doing as well as how quick you can get the parts.

I guess it could take a shop a week if they weren't busy with any other cars and they could get all the parts needed quick enough and if their cutting corners but like I said before there are several factors that weigh into it.

that subframe is definately bent you can tell since the engine is slightly crooked. All the suspension peices on that side of the car should be replaced. You can get a used CL subframe for cheap

If that happend to my car I would fix it.
Pull fender and wheel to inspect for suspension damage too. The upper arm might look a little tweeked to me
I think if you were get the parts used and fix yourself you could fix it up for a few thousand.
You could also find another cl with problems for a few thousand and switch your 6speed stuff over too.

Yeah no car is truly totaled it is ignorant to think that unless if a car is crushed like a beer can

I just seen this for a example that could be used for repair/swap your 6spd parts to.
with cash to play you could be bargaining under 2k

i was joking, i dont know how much it is to fix the car, but i will probably be putting my car for sale/ trade......i would ask 11,500 , bc of the rarity and how clean it is and yes it is white/black/6spd

So I just bought a CLS6 with very similar damage to yours except mine was on the left side and also damaged the radiator support. From looking at it you will definitely need all the suspension parts. Also the subframe is probably bent, not that bad of a job. It comes in two pieces, front and rear. Id recommend getting both used from a local junkyard. The hardest part about it was getting the rack off and all the lines that go to it. It's definitely fixable. So far on mine I've gotten both frnt suspension (everything), subframe, and airbags and I'm only about $250 in the hole with parts. Just remember the subframe is different for the 6 speed, it has the mounting points for the stock tourque dampner. Good luck and let me now if you have any questions.
