This is the 3rd time getting rear-ended in my 1.5 year old car. It's pretty surreal that I had been driving a Camry for 4 years without any accidents, yet here we are with my C300.

I am thinking this time I will ask for a bumper replacement since the last 2 accidents were pretty minor dings and scratches, but this one has actually bent the bumper quite extensively. If so, I would like to know if the OEM sport rear bumper will fit onto my Base 4Matic (Non-Sport) without issue.

I know some users on here have attempted that before, but I'm not sure if they were using OEM or aftermarket bumpers. Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks!

 

Are you just a horrible driver? Brake checking? Going to slow? Or what? With respect of course

Good luck to you

 

Haha. Actually this time my dad was driving. I was visiting town for Spring Break and he said he wanted to drive the benz to get some groceries. Got a call 5 minutes later that he was rear-ended at a left turn (one of those yellow flashing lights) and now he feels really bad about it even though it wasn't at all his fault.

The first time I was driving to an exam at 6:30 AM and the person behind me was sipping on her starbucks and let the car slide up too much. The second time was in Texas while it was pouring and a small pickup truck couldn't stop in time. All 3 times the car was at a complete stop so I have no idea what's going on....

 

Damn, bad luck three times. Good karma should be right around the corner.
