A sad day for an E55...

I pulled this off another site. Being an E55 owner I cringed at the pictures but cringed even more at the salvage price.

Looks like it was rolled.

The driver's airbag does not appear to have deployed.

The best part is that, with both left wheels whacked, it still "runs and drives"!

All four wheels more or less perpendicular to the road.

The legendary MBZ safety cage does it again.

I'd take the suspension off of it...if the price were right (and assuming there was no damage to the suspension components).

Stick a fork in it, cause that car is done. There's no way it's rebuildable.
