First Post and it's a sad one - Wrecked S65

Hey everyone,

I've been lurking around here roughly a year but never posted anything. Today I come to you with sad news. Another clean S65 has been taken off the streets due to a reckless individual. About two weeks ago a guy driving without a license and insurance slammed into the rear passenger side of my car causing $16K + in damages.

My insurance decide to declare the car a total loss since the salvage value was about $13k and like that I'm without my baby!

I may end up replacing it with a e350 wagon but we'll see. I'd love to get an e63 of course but they are still more than I'm willing to spend right now.

Also I may have a couple items for sale shortly depending on what I decide to get next. Lomo lowering module, 20 inch Rotiform wheels, sparkplugs etc. so keep an eye out for those.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully you're doing fine. Car can be replaced. If you still have stock wheels that came with the car and would like to sell, please PM me.

Glad you are well. Living Ewell is the best revenge. You can get a Maybach!

I just picked up a 2014 e350 wagon. I thought about getting another S65 but honestly the near constent maintenance and looming danger of a v12 TT motor having terminal failure (even if not likely) in the back of my mind is not something I want right now. With a young kid and another on the way something with more utility is also a plus.

Sorry, already gone! The whole car should be showing up soon in a salvage auction I believe. They took it to somewhere in MI.

I'm not clear how much they paid out... if they only gave you $13k that seems REALLY low
