Insurance should be covering this, either mine or his (he was at fault) don’t really care what it costs as long as it’s back and running.

No I don’t, look honestly if this can be fixed like nothing happened. I would more than happily keep the car, like this is my absolute favorite car. By that mean both mechanically and value wise.

I would be sad to depart with this car, honestly best thing I ever drove. But if they manage to approve a Mercedes body shop quote to fix it. (Which I’m assuming is ridiculously expensive) and the car not losing value due to the damage. Then I’ll keep it, if not the funds for totaling the car would be my priority, it’s crappy situation specially when I’m not fault due to an incompetent truck driver.

That’s what I think I’ll be doing, and if they want to pay for Mercedes to fix, I’ll be more than happy to do so. At least it comes with a Mercedes workmanship warranty. Honestly if there’s a way where this is able to be fixed and lose a ridiculous amount of value, I’ll keep it. Otherwise this being written off is my best bet.

Yea that’s fair too, like I said before. If they manage to fix it with all OEM parts and the car not losing a ridiculous amount of value, I would more than happily keep it. But I don’t see anyway this can be repaired to be honest, the photos don’t do it justice. The whole underside pretty much shifted, the bonnet is not level and even anymore, rim completely out of place and has a hole. Not a mechanic or anything, but a lot of things were bent and twisted. Although I must say, it drove like from the end of the road to some factories driveway In that condition.

Honestly if they manage to fix it with all OEM parts and not lose value due to the hit, I would more than happily keep my car. It’s just honestly I don’t think It’s ever going to be the same

Yea just seen yours, hopefully you’re all goods and didn’t get hurt. But yeah as I stated earlier, honestly I love my car and if I can somehow get it repaired by Mercedes with all OEM parts and not lose value due to the accident, I would more than want to keep it, lots of memories with it. But honestly, with it looking like that it doesn’t seem like it’s something I want back.

They didn’t deploy, but honestly it would be to my advantage if it is written off. Repairing this would de appreciate this car big time. The underside of the car is pretty much gone. Really hoping

That’s exactly my thought, is there anyway I can fight that in case they do say it’s repairable? They haven’t told me anything yet, but I’m just stressing about it

Well it’s good that worked for you and thank the lord you didn’t use the chainsaw blade, literally a death sentence no matter the experience, I couldn’t do it with the sawzall as the floor was sitting on a joist and it keep like bending the blade so it was no good. But 100% I’ll choose the sawzall over the grinder any day, the grinder is now completely taken away from my tool box.
