good call on the new bumper. I had way less damage on mine and still replaced it. Surprised it was actually that cheap.

Hey, I've not seen pix of vdub's bumper mishap. I wonder how much it costs. It's probably all fixed by now.

Anything showing up on carfax?

The replacement price is so much more on the CLS, I wonder why.

havent checked yet...i asked collision guy, he said its up to insurance

insurance didnt have criteria as to what goes on there or not...but then said salvage or total loss cars go one there...that makes no sense because regular services go on it sometimes

i know from personal experiance with my old c320 that carfax is useless in buying a new car...that car needed a new engine because of flood, my insurance covered it...never showed up on carfax
