From Black to White

My wife's got in an accident. We need to get a replacement. We looked and test drove BMW, Lexus and MB. My wife loves the W211 style from when it first came out. I got her a black one with 5 miles on it. After couple weeks of searching (made couple offers on Lexus IS350), we decided to get the CPO E350. She doesn't like the new style. We glad that we decided on the MB E350. My wife had the black one for 6 yrs and she still in love with it. Trust me. She loves the car more than me.

The damage on the "love of your wife" seems completely repairable. Why replace the car in first place?

Nice looking car...white is definitely my color of choice for the E-Class.
Did you salvage any parts from the wrecked vehicle?

Insurance "totaled" the car. Dealer estimated 18K to fix it.

Insurance offered 5K for the vehicle as salvage. I didn't get it because I am not good at working on car. It was a great car. I bought it brand new (5 miles). After 5 years, my wife only drove 23K miles on it. Out there, someone will aution a car with very low mileages.
