Hi,
I got into a reverse accident this morning. The main thing damaged in my faithful 240 (1990 model) was the rear light glass. The Main rear brake light glass and the white plate glass are broken. The body metal area looks slightly creased. But doesn't seem to be any serious problems. Maybe the exhaust pipe area got cracked- I thought I smelt some fumes in the car- but I can't tell for certain.
I called up the wreckers and they said they don't have any 240 (1990 models)- but do have 244s 240 1983 models etc.. A rear tail light glass will cost about $11. (Not too sure whether they mean the whole thing or just one part).
My mechanic wants to charge $120 for a 2nd hand model.
Nonetheless, I will go tomorrow to check them out and see whether they match.
But can someone tell me whether the rear tail light of the 244 or a 240 1983 model will be ok?
Any comments?
Thanks Wilde
