Goes to show you what a 5 star crash safety rating vehicle can do for you. Look how the entire car leans on the roof and it barely budged. Glad you're ok.

of coz insurance gonna take it for sure...
that's why there won't be any part out whatsoever
might be either gonna get another SLK, a CLS or the new S class depends what my parent thinks, my dad thinks that he want a bigger car cause he likes the W140 that we have in Hong Kong, my mom still miss the fun she had in the tiny SLK, and i told them CLS will solve the problem (coz i love that car!)
the wheels are badly damage.

some witness gave me a called today about what happened..
he said he was driving by and all of sudden he heard a LOUD BANG SOUND and look at his rearview mirror he saw a car flying, he was talking to my bro today and thought it was a toyota
and he thinks that for that kinda damage with driver running thru red light that driver must be going over 60MPH to send a car flipping.. anyone agree?

Glad you're coming out without a loss. And for the car being covered, too.
What you can see isn't the trouble- it's those things you can't. I wonder how many thousands of dollars just those airbags are. The shot that car took to the side has probably given the chassis a tweak it'd never recover from.

i can't believe what we heard last week...

The lights was sure green, even the police report said that my bro has the green light

That's an opposing insurance agent for ya! They would love to be able to get out of paying $40k no doubt. That said, good lord son! Of course your car is totaled. Why on earth would you WANT to fix a new Benz that had rolled? You will never be able to sell the damn thing, and if you do, it will be worthless. Salvage titles don't fetch a lot of money on year-old benzes 
The technical answer would be that the car is totalled if more than half the value of the car would be required to fix it, and $20k is most certainly that.
