That is really sad, but if it's truly rust-free, and you could get replacement sheet metal, it might actually be possible to pull the 'frame' out to its correct place and actually get it back on the road. What was its true market value before the accident?
You don't need it in undamaged condition after the repair, you just need it to be straight. Mounting points all in the right place, no weakening creases left. Etc. Doesn't matter if you can tell it was repaired after opening the hood. Only that you can't tell if you don't. The secret is to talk to the right place. 99% of body shops would call that a write-off upon just seeing that picture. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
