Door Pull Replacement

Hi Guys,

I'm gonna pick up a pre-owned MCS next week and it's equipped with the Anthracite interior. All the interior pieces are in pretty good condition except the driver side door pull, it's pretty scratched up. Since there is no paint chipped off I don't think I can get it replaced under warranty. I would like to know if there is anyone who has bought the door pull from your dealership, and if so, how much does it cost? I just want to replace one side and make the interior look newer.

Another problem I found was the front fender, it's not aligning with bumper and door, the black trim on the fender just doesn't line up with rest. It could be an accident that is not fixed properly, but I remember seeing a brand new MCS in the dealership show room that has the same problem. Just wondering is it a common problem or I should assume that the one I'm picking up has an accident history?

Really appreciate your help!! Thanks a lot in advance!!

Rex

It is a good idea to ask for / demand a Carfax report from the dealer - or even pay for one yourself. If the dealer refuses there is likely a reason.

The door casing and door bezel (which includes the door pull) are all one piece ... and quite expensive

yeah, about £200, and you need to buy the speaker grill too, as the old one will be heat welded on to the old door card, and can not be re-used.
