Car Crash-E300Turbo Diesel, advice?

I was just t-boned in my 98 E300Turbo Diesel. There is moderate damage to passenger side of car. Both doors are smashed in. No damage to front or rear panels, and car is running fine,, except for it being out of alignment now. I think there may be some frame damage, as the impact was in the middle of the car, and the roof and floor seem to have expanded a little from the impact.

Anyone have any idea of the cost involved for this kind of damage? Im really hoping this can be repaired. I DONT want another car. I love this car and wanted to keep it forever. Any advice? By the way,, the cop told me that because I was in a mercedes,,, my baby and I had no iinjuries. He said Mercedes is one of the safest, stongest bodies you can get.

Good that you are ok! The E-Class is one of the safest vehicles on the roads today. Either way it depends on how much the damage is assesed for in regards to your vehicle. Make sure you choose a good body shop, this will be key. It also helps to when possible, to choose a shop that the insurance carrier works with, so that if repairs aren't done properly you have someone to complaign to other than the shop which will never help you at that point.

Sorry buddy but your car is totalled. That is a dead give away, when the floor boards bend like that your car is done. You can also check the alignment of your trunk and hood, and see if it is still percfectly aligned, which i bet it isnt.
