As of about 10 this morning the insurance company has totaled the S600, and they opened about $500 above my minimum value so things are looking good, very good. We can hold out a few days and probably get the $15-16,000 I wanted to begin with. With the fact that there are virtually no 600-trim specific parts, and those that are I have already easily found for cheap, and that there are enough used W220 parts on Ebay to build several cars, I am pretty confident that there is going to be a lot of money left over to get some extra stuff fixed on the car. First I have to get the EVAP solenoid and the secondary air injection pump done so it will pass inspection, then I’m thinking a new harmonic balancer, rack and pinion, steering sensor, a new set of chromed factory wheels and a nice new set of matching Continental DWS tires, and a transmission service.

On a side note, anybody from North Carolina have any experience with our salvage to rebuilt title process?

AYYYYY the big car lives on, in even better form. Was there any mechanical damage, or was it all cosmetic?

Air conditioner condenser got bent and the Distronic module got crushed, and some parking sensors got destroyed, but it’s all cosmetic mostly. Needs the whole front of the car basically, but that is seriously cheap to buy on eBay.

Make sure you get an S600 hood, I believe the grille is ever so slightly more vertical to accommodate the V12

I shall have to confer with my mechanic, I know I need a special Distronic grille but I already found one.
