What is your driver's seat like? Mine is leather with the power memory function but it is pretty worn. I see yours is the 2.6 so it is probably different?

I am sorry man, that is serioulsy the worst ***** that would ever happen. Have you ever posted pics on here? That car looks nice even with a mad dent in it. I love those rims. I was also going to ask if I could possibly buy the front bumper if it is in good condition? thanks, PM details please.

Ouch! Did the tree completely miss your other car? And it looks like it only just nicked your house...I guess in some ways you're pretty lucky.

As far as parts go, I could use the vacuum diaphram that releases the rear headrests when you push the dash button. It's accesible from the trunk, directly under the headrests. A round black canister thingie. Let me know if you have it, and how much +shipping to 43566...thanks!

I feel for you dude! Hope you can get enough as you part her out to get another benz!

Also please let me know if you have the protection panel and nuts that covers the fuel pump and fuel filter.

Thanks

I'll buy the wheels and tires if they're the size I'm looking for and the same front and back (I have a 4matic).
What are all the specs (sizes) of the rims and tires?

Tires and wheels

What is the size of the Tire/wheel combo, am very interested and am in Georgia, although north of Atlanta, but I go through Macon often.

Also, after looking at the definitive wheel fitment guide, it states wide wheel arches for that size wheel, my question is, did you have to roll your fenders and/or did you use spacers? Hard to tell with the pics. THanks.

The wheels will fit without fender flaring/rolling/spacers....Search DAMNIT.

As far as your car goes, that SUCKS.....you sure they can't buff that out?

Man - At least no one was hurt.
I am almost positive your homeowner's would cover that loss. Take a look at your policy - it will tell you.
