Viewed a nice S2 today, but it had a hole in the front skirting(bumper)at its lowest point to the ground.

I expect it occurred when parking. It was big enough to get my thumb through it.

How much do you think I would need to budget to get this sorted (i.e. how much should I negotiate downwards by?)

I have a picture, but can't see how to attach it.

Sincere thanks.

I think most elises have some damage to the underside of front clam - If its hidden I'd guess that 250quid would get it filled and some paint on it, but not a perfect job, as it wouldnt justify it.

They are very vulnerable to kerbs, other half's parking rolleyes etc, I had mine repaired for just under £300 at an Indy. Very good job, including blending in the paint - looks faultless.

Thanks for that then guys.

£300 it is.

A related question on the same vehicle. Where is my best source to establish if this car is priced correctly?

Cheers.

on here really for correct pricing - its very difficult to be honest as most people advertise what they want, but you dont see what they really sold for...

The market is the correct place. See what other cars are advertised for.
