Strip what ever you can before the insurance take it.
THey not going to give you what it worth so why not make some money off the parts.

That does suck, I hit a raccoon on the Elgin-O'hare doing about 50 2years ago. I had cracked the bumper cover visibly, but it did $5800 worth of damage. I bent the lower radiator core support and it pushed the radiator into the fan and fan clutch. These cars may be cheaper now, but repairs will still be just as expensive. At least you are ok, that is the most important thing.

PS: I am interested in the roof spoiler if you can get it back.

AHHH this past sunday i had an accident too, some dumb lady left her car parked on practically a highway around a blind turn at night in the rain with no hazard lights or anything!!!
I'm sorry that your car isn't going to be fixed especially since the damage doesn't look terribly hard to repair.
You can't see in the pictures but the doors and rear quarter panel all are scratched and dented mildly but enough to need to repaint the whole side.
Honestly, just buy another w210 or older amg, the newer ones scare me with their air suspension and the such...

So far were at 4thousand,3hundredish. But the insurance lady adjuster messed up my entire estimate out of spite that I wouldn't leave my car with her and her husbands body shop.... They didn't even realized why i was so upset looking at my car in it's crippled state, I had to explain to them I have no kids as I'm only 19 so the closest thing I have to one is my car and when my car has a bad day, I have a bad day.

Glad to hear you're ok. As you and others have mentioned, that doesn't look totaled at all, but like AMS said it all adds up.
Good luck with getting everything resolved and I hope you can look forward to picking out your next beast.

Nice upgrade, but the damage didn't look that bad really.. bumper/grill/fender/hood? 500-1k in used parts and some paint, any damage under the hood?
I like the black roof too, going to paint mine also. was your car lowered?
