For comparison
This was $14000 Canadian for repairs, still not a write off since value is higher...although the xenons are $2000 a pop! I drove the car like this to the repair shop...Sorry about your luck, i know how you feel.

My sister in laws x3 got side swiped. Both doors and front and rear fenders were damaged on the passenger side. It was considered total. I'm pretty sure that's gonna be the same.

My last car was a VW Jetta, after a wreck they decided to fix it instead of totaling it. Estimate was 7k, car was probably worth 11k.
Took a month to repair, cost over 10k to insurance by the end of it. Plus the rental for the month.
Car was never 100% the same since.

repairable, yes. frame damage is always the big question.
if you're posting about it, i assume you are ok. that's the biggest worry in my book
car wrecks are awful.

My car had the same damaged as yours but I guess yours had more impact on it. The repair bill was around $15k. Even though it was repaired by MB Canada it is not the same. If the airbags deployed say bye-bye to your ride.

Damn yeah that looks bad!! Glad that you are ok that's the main thing. Insurance will total the car for sure. Like the others said try and get your aftermarket parts off to sell or put on another w204 if you get one.

The car is probably totaled which is awesome. The fool that hit you just bought you another Mercedes. I would take the insurance money, ask to buy the car back if there is no frame damage. Just buy 2 new doors and repair the rear 1/4 panel. for under 1k. Sell the car and use that + the insurance money to buy a new car.
a truck reversed into my car in a parking lot. $8500 in damages! but then again i took it to a shop that specializes in lambo body work lol
