Looks like that transport company just placed a nice claim to their insurance company
I can see a shady dealer not disclosing this to the cars they have no ostensible cosmetic issues

Is Mercedes Corporate responsible for delivery of the vehicle to the dealer lot? Who takes that $995? If Corporate then why would dealer get their hands dirty?

I can see most of the parts reusable including chassis but not the frame. If its bend, which I think it is, then its not the same anymore.
Carfax Website:
WHAT IS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE?
This happens when any part of the vehicle which is part of the main body or frame, or is designed to ensure structural integrity, is damaged. Even minor car frame damage from a trivial collision can seriously undermine the structural integrity of a vehicle.
Examples of vehicle components which are part of the body or frame include suspension mounting, lower and upper frame rails, and for unibody vehicles, the A, B and C pillars, windshield, rear window frame and rocker panels.
Anything which can be bolted on is not considered part of the underlying structure.
Cars have either a unibody or frame construction.
Unibody construction
Unibody construction, where the body and frame are made from one piece of metal, is now the most common structure for cars. Its benefits include a lower body weight and protecting passengers from the force of impact in a crash......... more info in link.

All of these vehicles are unibody. Usually when unibody is damaged. They straighten and or Cut out the damaged section and rebuild.

Good that the driver is ok.
I agree with some of the posters here that those vehicles will end up on a lot somewhere one way or another

I think the best is find out all of the VIN numbers involved in that crash and put it as a big sticky so that everybody here will be able to check their car prior to delivery. I think those will be repaired if it is structurally sound and sold to the public and they won't disclose what happened to the cars.
