repairs and the salvage value combined would exceed the current value of the vehicle, the insurance company may declare it totaled. Generally, the insurance provider will only pay out the lesser cost of buying a replacement vehicle, instead of paying to repair the old one to its previous state.
I know exactly what it is now and also know how you must feel at this moment. I wish you all the best and hope the insurance will come with a relatively good offer, so that you will be able to locate and buy another SLK32AMG on your terms.
greetings
