daughter hit a derr in the MERCEDES
the front end was already damaged from my wife hitting a car. i kept telling her i was waiting on her next wreck. thought i would get a "2 fur one"
well, my daughter hit a deer and finished off what was not damaged. more damage to the hood and bumper but now got the drivers fender and door and finished off the head light. i am waiting on an estimate, which i think will be between 3 and 4k. i paid 5k for the car and it now has 180k miles on it. what makes all this even worse is i was going to drive it to oklahoma monday for a month ling school for work. we went and found a 4k honda accord yesterday. we can drive it for a while and i should be able to get my money back out of it. it still ran and drove great except it has a small oil leak at the rear engine seal which i was going to fix. at that much, should i just part it out, try to sell it as a parts car or fix it. my other option is to do as much as i can myself. i may have to take it and have the front end pulled out and not sure if i want to paint it or not. oh, its a 2000 e320 wagon. if anybody knows of a parts car, let me know.

I always liked the look of those Mercedes wagons...but sounds like this on is at the end of it's life. Sorry 'bout that.
