My daughter just wrecked my 1988 SL560 in Toronto. Sob sob

My daughter just wrecked my beautiful 1988 560 SL.
What a bad day.
A car rear ended her on the high way and the back is damaged.
The car was in great condition but now because of the damaged rear end the workshop is asking to repair it at a cost more that it's price before the accident.

No body around me understands the extend of the sorrow.

Now what.

As an SL owner, I feel your pain at least more than most. I have been looking at 80s model SLs. Thought it would be cool to have a fairly modern SL and a more classic looking one. A 57 gullwing would be nice, but more than just a bit out of my price range.
