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!)![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

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![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
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?![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

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.

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 ![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
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.
