You are also entitled to collect on reduced value which will probably be substantial.
It's easy to find out how much. Just ask the sales manager at your dealer what the comparative trade in value would be for a car that had been in a $20K accident versus no accident damage.
It will be a big number.

Glad everything is working out... but since you have to get it repaired instead of getting a new car, is it possible to send it to a mercedes benz dealer for the repair... i dont know of any but anyone on this forum know of any mb dealer that deals w/collision? This is irrelivant, but i know bay ridge lexus does collision repairs for Lexus' so im assuming theres gana be an mb dealer that does it.
Anyways.. keep us posted on how the repair turns out!

They are saying I should get an extra $ 4500.00 in diminished Value.
http://www.diminishedvalue.com/
With the Diminished Value and loss of use/rental it may get them to Total It.
Good luck with your health and hopefully getting another New C300.
FYI. The Hyundai that hit me was Totaled. It just makes you sick when you take such good care of your Benz and someones moment or lack of attention results in your car getting ruined....

Absolutely, that is the worse part of it. I think it would have been easier to come to terms with if it was my fault.
