Well, she's gone.
My wife called shortly after 8am Monday. She's wrecked the E550.
Pulled in to traffic after someone else waved her on, and a car coming from the right took off the front.
What do you think, kids? Totaled?

I'm sorry to hear that! Hope you find your way into another Mercedes, and glad she's ok. It's hard to tell if it's totaled from just those pictures, but my guess will be yes if there's any engine or frame damage.

I would guess totaled as well, but what a "clean" front impact. No real damage to the hood or driver front quarter panel. Looks like a future salvage titled vehicle

in a situation like this, does the insurance company get the totaled car? or do you get to keep it since it's 'yours'? are you obligated to give it to them? or can you sell off parts?

the insurance pays the agreed value or the book value. they get to keep the car but. although others will let you get away with some parts like wheels, hu and the like.

My guess if the frame didn't twist it is repairable. Most of the front clip is sacrificial in a collision to protect the occupant. I think the Insurance will go for repair.
I'll bet you could cut the wires to the bumper and drive it home.

Just an off the cuff note..I've heard of these wave outs as sometimes an insurance scam..accident setup..be careful (lawsuit)
