While sitting in traffic today, a young girl in a Ranger slammed into the back of my 240 and drove me into the back of a Ford Taurus. It drove the rear bumper into the trunk all the way up to the filler door and drove the radiator into the fan, tenting the hood and smashing my Euro lights. Definitely totaled. Gave me quite a jolt also. Stiff neck and headache for me tonight.

This will be my last official Benz question until I aquire another one. Does anyone know firsthand how they will value my car to settle up. I know that this is going to hurt, because this was an '82 Euro with only 68K miles. I fear that the blue book will not reflect anywhere near replacement cost. Can I insist on them fixing the car? I've never had a car totaled, so I am interested in how this goes down. Thanks for any info, Jim
