I have a convertible 1999 Mercedes Benz clk320 with 140k miles and my son crashed it, it needs a new front bumper, needs to be repainted and needs dents on the hood fixed. is it worth fixing?
do you have any mechanical damage or it run fine and it is just cosmetics damage? If you can have fixed cheap and you like it, just do not put too much money in it, it has some miles.

Yea my hydraulic pump for my convertible top is broken so I can’t open the top automatically, and I can’t open the top manually because when my son crashed the head rest on the back seats shot up and they are in the way of the top

But besides that it runs great the car is a dream to drive honestly and it’s fast you could cruse at 130 on the highway no problem
you are in a tough spot. Have a look with an honest mechanic at how much they ask for the repair. Then you balance it again how much you are willing to spend. But if once repaired (if you decide to do so) then start breaking down might be time to say goodbye. Do not let it became an endless money pit!
It’s not worth fixing. Drive it as is (get another bumper from a scrapyard) until something major breaks & then junk it. It’s too old for you to warrant putting any $$$ into it.
If you love the car and want to keep it, try not to think about the repair cost, since it is gonna be expensive regarding the damaged you mentioned.
