thank god for those crumple zones. Great to hear only injury was the CL. Is it all repairable, or a write-off?

What happened? You and the minivan in front were knocked into the intersection? How fast was the guy who hit you going?

Dang another CLS bites the dust, sorry to hear that but as always the main thing is that the soft items (people) in the car were not injured except maybe a little emotionally.. you are always welcome on this board to state your opinions and to participate even if you are not a CL owner anymore.. hey maybe we should have a 'former CL owner' portion of the site?

I found this site helpful on investigating diminished value.

Because when it comes to trade in the dealers will devalue your car saying it was in a wreck. Trust me I know.
