The problem is that she will do it again and the next time it may be a little kid. I've seen it too many times, and I feel really bad everytime I see a little children being killed (with blood coming our of their mouths) because a person on their cell phone (or drunk) didn't pay attention... what do we do ?
sorry I had to be graphical, but one of those kids died in my arms while taking her into the hospital, I felt really helpless and very sad for her (she was 3 yr old) - what a waste. the lady driver is still free, and continues to talk on her cell phone driving her huge Expedition.
- Hope you get at least full compensation the accident she caused.
- A fixed car with the damage yours have leaves a car that's never the same (physically and emotionally for you).
so it's better to have it totalled. best of lucks.

every dealer will give you a different trade in price. In most cases I have gotten a price between the dealer purchase price and the seller's price in kbb. (maybe BMW will give you the most - but you would have to buy another bimmer)

When my son reaches 19, there is no way I would buy him a TL let alone a car. How can a 19 year old afford a TL unless the family pays for it. It's all about working for what you get and how could a 19 year-old have a job to afford this vehicle.
Now I know a lot of users of this board are really young and have these cars, but what expectations will you have later in your life if you have everything now and who will pay for it then, unless Mommy and Daddy give you cash for life.
PS, yes I am jeleous and would have died for a new Z28 when I was 19. (no Acura back then).

and MB E55/CL55 is the way to go when you got the money.
My cousin inherited a high 8 figure amount (US$) when my uncle died (tax free - because he's overseas), and he tried all MB he could, then he got bored and now he's into Jags and Ferraris...
I have to work for a living, but I can understand how some people don't. It's nice - sometimes, as they get problems we don't get too... it kind of evens out in the end.
enjoy every day!
