I've had a blog post on the 'death' of my S320 in the works for a couple weeks. I've just abandoned that article and will update everyone else with a bit of journalism, not story-telling.
The S320 got rear-ended about two weeks ago. I'm fine. The car's a total. Yes, I know I've only had it since March. The insurance company is being extremely cooperative with me and I'm pleased overall with their performance. For the record, I am currently working directly with the offending driver's insurance company, not my own.
I'm currently driving a rental; will switch over to the parents' Lincoln for a bit, then buy a replacement once the money comes in. My best guess is that the replacement value for my S320 is in the $10K range. $4.50/gallon gas drove the resale value of the six-cylinder S-class right up. It's the highest-value S-class on the used market right now. And that means there aren't that many of them popping up on the used car market. Imagine that!
I need a category for automobiles...
