Re: Another bargain!
the merc hasnt a hope of ever going back on the road, must have been hit by a lorry because them mercs are supposed to be built like tanks, ugly front, never liked the quad headlight thing going on made the car look unnecessarially retro. As for the phaeton, its a good car, but its like a lexus it doesnt have the luxury car image.

Re: Another bargain!
the whole roof, and chasis are bent, that car is destroyed, perhaps a cut n shut but they are just deathtraps, i would never advise anyone to buy a damaged car, theres just something i dont like about them.

Re: Another bargain!
i suggest pulling off the merc logo, then the whole car will fall apart.

Re: Another bargain!
I think the airbags are triggered by large amounts of deceleration, getting hit from behind is more acceleration...
You sure about that veedub? Looks like it's taken out the suspension and the car's resting on it's chin to me.

Re: Another bargain!
You can bet the engine in the Veedub is smashed, and with chassis damage (would be a CAT B here).
The merc looks like it's gone sideways into a tree to me.
Still, that is Croatia soooo........in a few weeks time someone will be driving it around blissfully unaware of its previous
