Ouch sorry to hear that, hopefully you didn't get injured? How fast of a impact was that? Back end looks pretty bad but it looks like the car held up pretty good.

thanks - i was the sole passenger. all still alive

that was the result of a meet up with a giant crane truck

car took it like a beast - hate to think what would have happened had i been in smaller car

i think these things are pretty solid cars. remind me of the 80's big body mercedes cars

on the hunt for another 06 but i might spring for a newer body style pending a search of how reliable the newer models are

my 06 was dead nuts reliable

If you had your car for a fair amount of time.. it's truly hard to find a replacement. Glad you are ok and good luck looking!

Glad you were not injured. Don't scoff at "whip lash", though... Wife is still recovering from her rear enders.... (Jan and Apr).

Sad to see an '06 bite the dust.... precious cars and hard to find.....

Good luck with your search.... If you have to settle on an LS460 it will not be that terrible....
