That car is beautiful.
Granted, I love my 98', but man I would really enjoy that car especially with the updated tiptronic trans.
Good luck with the sale.

That damage looks pretty extensive...if you're looking at an MB-certified place might be....hard to tell though. What's the underneath look like - engine might be toast. Fortunately, the wife is safe! All safety equipement work as advertised????

To be quite honest, I would not mind if the car was repaired, it will be very hard to replace with another 2000 C43 in my car's condition.

S8, SL, and many many others
You would not want to repair that and hope they total it.. Even repaired on the outside, the frame is still wacked. that car will never drive the same.

I agree it sounds like that the damage caused by the impact has completely displaced the entire drivetrain and more than likely totaled....dunno if you would be happy with it knowing it has sustained that level of damage. Plus, it will never be the same again.

That makes me queasy. Terrible news.
That car was a beauty.
I crashed a C230komp W202 and they are great for crashing. I know that sounds stupid but they are. Glad there's now bodily harm.

sorry to hear, good thing wife is ok
car is repairable np, just a matter of insurance if they total it or not, either way you could deal with them and buy it back cheaper than you'd find it again at an salvage auction, and repair it afterwards
looks like high impact, frame might not even need to be straightened, what was the other vehicle involved?

Wow. Sorry to hear about your loss. I would take the insurance settlement and purchase a new model. By looking at it I would say that it would be very difficult to restore that car to its original, cared for condition. Not to mention that it would carry a "salvage title" for the remainder of its life.

question about the lowering springs: how was the ride using the stock shock absorbers?

your car looks/looked awesome with the H&R springs. i was told that lowering the car may void certain provisions of the starmark warranty. do you have any info and/or experience regarding that? ive been putting off lowering my car b/c of that.
thanks.
thanks.
