I totalled my '06 R500 going 5mph and the insurance company is offering $24k for it, however, the comparable they used are base model R500 models (no premium packages). my R500 either has the PII or PIII (if it exists) and i can't remember the details.

mine has has a wood steering wheel, xeon lights that turn as you turn, keyless entry/start, third row air vents, pano roof, rear climate controls, textured leather, fog lights, nav, sirus radio, ipod connector.

the insurance company said if i can show how much the options cost i can argue for a percentage of the original price.

anyone have a list of the premium packages and how much they were back in 2006? i found a pdf for the R350, not the R500. maybe they are the same?

thanks for your help in advance!

Sounds like time to get an AMG and take it up a notch.

Don't forget to let us know how you can total a R going 5mph Did you hit a box of Nitro or what?

pmb600 Thank you so much for that 2006 document. While I've seen the similar marketing literature today for sales staff (and the 2011 R class), it's the first I"ve seen of the 2006 info.
As to the thread question I have tried to collect relevant window sticker images through the years from e-bay and save them. A printout I have for a 2007 R-350 sold in Van Nuys, CA, confirms also that the P1 package at $4225 (Teleaid, panoroof, rear audio, sat. radio, H/K sound, power rear quarter windows, power tailgate.) Another odd option was voice recognition CD changer - hands-free voice recognition with 6-disc cd changer for $500. Suggested Retail before options was $43K/total car price $48,500.


( For info. in Canada the R Class did NOT come with the same packaging suggested in the 2006 U.S. based document above. I am not certain if my Canadian 2006 R350 is a "launch package" - as it was built Dec 2005, (whatever that entailed) or if it's simply a collection of ticked boxes on the order sheet (it has Pano Roof, Navigation, Parktronic, garage door opener, and rear side air bags). Wished like heck it had heated seats as well. I wonder if the mktg literature is available for Canada for 2006 - as I don't have my window sticker....?

Thanks everyone. the pdf from PMB600 did the trick. they bumped the payout to just under $31k based on the options.

and as for the accident, the other car was going 30-35mpg. no air bags deployed in mine and damage was reasonable, but it hit just at the right place to bent the rails of the frame.

we loved the car. perfect fit for the family. now the hunt begins again.... for an AMG if i could find one!
