Im planning to go to a doctor just to be safe. The good bit is that you can see the MB quality shine through in this impact. I did not feel as hard a jolt as I have felt in a toyota when it was similarly impacted. The bad bit is that I really liked the car. Trusty, reliable and low fuel cost.

If the insurance totals it Im thinking of buying it back then think of repairing or parting it. The engine is perfect - no problems at all, no leaks, sounds sweet, the transmission shifts very nice. the interior is good, no cracks in dash, A/C with no leaks since Ive owned it (evap replaced). Suspension redone.

by my own estimate, I need to find a car that I can take a sawzall to for the rear clip and find a shop that it is willing to weld it back for reasonable money.

A replacement hood, grille shell, one grille strip, both bumpers, one headlamp glass, both tail lights and the rear exhaust muffler.

The Mrs unit of myself is asking to find a later E320 W210 body or a W210 turbodiesel.

btw - speaking of this - my toolkit is locked in the trunk and I cant open the trunk, anyone know how I can extract it from a W124
