Hi guys, was hoping to get some opinions on damage done to a car by the missus. We went to see a Mercedes CLK 320 V6 2002 model, fella told Missus take it for a test drive I’ll chat to your fella while you’re gone. She went on some country road and went over a bridge at speed which happens to have a steep dip on the other side, she hit the bottom of the dip, what speed I have no idea but I’ll assume at least 70, but she says no more than 40....
She came back and when she parked I noticed oil pool starting and she said she hit the bottom of the car. The fella is a diy mechanic & I said I’m more than happy to pay for the damage, he said not a problem & people not from the area always get caught out by the dip. Few hours later he rings & says that the engine block is cracked......
I’m not sure if he’s trying to have me on or not, 100% though I would say the oil pan is gone but the engine block? I’m sure the crossmembers would have taken any major brunt before the block. I’ve asked him to send me pics once I have em I can post them.
Do you think the damaged claimed is possible?
