Car accident with pics...
My car that just bought 14 days ago today was in a bad accident. I am pretty banged up to say the least. I am posting some pics to you guys for some thoughts on damage. I am thinking the may have to write her off. 2008 C230 Sport/Premium packages.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Good lord - hopefully you are not too banged up - what exactly happened?
That looks like a high hit - I suppose if it stayed away from the suspension it might be repairable. Being a 2008 though - it might be low enough in blue book value that it might be done in.
Did it get the A pillar/anything with the hinges on the door? Did any airbags blow? What about the windshield - any cracks (from impact or stress).

2008. Estimated damage was $22,000. Total Loss is usually assessed if the cost of repair is more than 50% Current Market Value/Replacement Cost of vehicle. Current market was around $21K for a comparatively optioned car.

Thank you. I finally found that car and it was perfect... THese are hard to find where I am from and I doubt I will find another. I am very worried they will attempt to fix it and it will never be he same and pretty worthless if I ever sold it...
