hosed by a lincoln navigator...car fixed!!
This was more than a fender bender; travelling westbound on the long island expwy I came up on heavy traffic, unfortunately the genius in the lincoln navigator in front of me didn't decide to stop until the last second, when he crunched the person in front of him; needless to say, BAS ABS and all, I couldn't stop in time either. This was the outcome of the crash...nothing happen to his rear, either... 
the way the headlights got pushed back..it kinda looks like a 2003 E class...

damn, that is nasty. It hurts just looking at those pix. It also makes me think about the beauty of the Eclass. $13k? I'd get a second opinion.
All in all, just another reason why I left LI many moons ago.

OUCH!!! I can feel your pain. On a good note though, changing all of the parts you just described including your 2 front fenders and you can update your front end into a 2000+ if you're into it.
