I think you should write it off and give me the engine to drop it in my Jeep
.Comprehensive insurance should cover that, pain in the **** with the rates afterwards but I doubt you'll want to pick up the tab for the repairs. If it was just grill, radiator and fender they'll fix it.

Its TOTALLED uggg but what does that really mean?? I had collision insurance $1000 deducible What should I expect $$ wise? I would be happy to just replace it with another 2003 clk 500 with 110K miles on it but should I ??? I bought this car from my brother( who did major research on the car) so it was not my first choice of car though I grew to LOVE it though the maintenance was high. I don't want a stupid honda ( no offense) but really what am I expected to receive and what car should i look at next I have always wanted a jaguar…OK BENZ boys fire away I have read a few comparison articles about each so let me have it
