RIP CLS63

Driving home from a lunch meeting, Uber driver made a left turn from the right lane while I had the right of way (green) and he had a flashing yellow. Took this one right on the chin, my bell is still rung. I'm REALLY upset, I loved this car and it is absolutely totaled.

Glad you made it through okay brother. I hope the Uber people make it right! Keep us posted! Will you at least get to part it out or anything?

I doubt I'll get to part it out unless I buy it back from insurance. The car runs and drives still, nothing in the drivetrain was damaged. I should call Goonzsquad and see if they want it. I'm going to go and take off the spoiler, diffuser and mirror caps. THOSE ARE MINE.

Hell yeah! Get what is yours! Hell, get whatever you can IMO......trunk stuff, like the tow hook, first aid. Engine cover......whatever you can and keep it to either sell or pay forward to the rest of the members here

I would definitely sell the diffuser unless I get another CLS63. Kind of unlikely because an E63S has been calling my name.

Glad you are ok!
Sorry to see that beauty go though... I think you were the guy who helped me get over my hesitation on getting the 5.5 turbo platform, I was coming from a 6.2 c63 and I got the CLS63 P30.
I don't know about an E though... being in a sleek CLS63 with wider rears to an E with skinny tires - or was that the older generation that had larger wheel wells only on the CLS?

Been going back and forth with insurance, got a personal injury lawyer because I'm hurt so that protracts the process. Definitely totaled, I should get a check for the value of the car next week, insurance was relatively fair and that's not the part that I'm interested in litigating anyway. Now I have to find a damn replacement. Test drove a W213 E63 and loved it so I'm more than likely going in that direction. I have no idea why people are saying the suspension on the E is stiff.

Hope it works out to your benefit! I can't stand lawyers, but understand we need them sometimes to help us 'navigate' in their little social club. Looking forward to your impression of the W213, you going on the lot or configuring? GL to ya! Stay well

I did talk them down a bit, but damn this thing has everything and then some. Poker face was hard to maintain.
