Hi,

I am sorry to see you go through all of this;

I hope you can find another nice E420 to replace that one. They are among the best built, best balanced, good handling and accellerating and reliable of the modern Mercedes around.

Because of the daily storage fees, the adjuster is under enormous pressure to settle the total loss cases, I think 30 days is the deadline they're laboring under.

Having books and records showing the condition of the definately will support a better settlement price. Not certain, but they don't have to "find" you another car, just to pay the fair market value of yours. Examples of comparable sales will help you get a good price too!!

Good luck!!
