Wait, did you invest $32k into repairing it? Because you can get a almost new and clear titled E500 for $60k.

no , it cost him 32K altogether to fix it. Personally although it looks good now, the e-class body structure is fairly stiff, once its been damaged it might look good, but IMO it won't drive the original way.

Hey, where did you get the car? I am looking for a similar project but I don't want to go through a hit car dealer - their mark-ups are higher than a clean used one...
