If they are going to total it, how much has the storage fee amounted to? In this state, they offer to sell you the vehicle for a fraction of the what they total it for however, they leave you hanging on storage/towing (unless you bargain and get it in writing).
A good appraisal can go a long way. To properly insure my special interest vehicles I get a pre-agreed amount. If there is any question on what they will insure it for I am free to bring them an appraisal. I haven't had to do that yet since we are talking about nothing for money. I have used purchase price and photos to insure my last three special interest vehicles. My point to turning this around is, you have your receipts and yes you have rights. Get an appraisal completed by a credible Mercedes shop. Don't confuse this with an estimate of repair.
