Scott,
That's it. With the parts to fix that I have new, it's
$24,000. Runs and drives fine. Good title, never totaled. Warranty should be intact. 474 miles. Thanks for the Inquiry, Noel

Eh, 24k is too much for me for a wrecked car. Had it have been more like $4k I probably would've bitten (after a REAL careful inspection & estimate).

How much is a normal Firehawk? Ask them how much the S600 is!

I think those S600s run for 100,000 or so...

I was riding in my dads Buddies SL500 once... :)

That was a sweet ride and that went for about 85-90,000 :Q

Gotta love how the doors are Air tight, and suck shut when u get in :D

Maybe I'm just a mean person, but it's really hard to muster any sympathy for somebody that totals a $130,000+ car. Anyone that buys an S600 over an S500 is really just showing off by paying an extra $30,000 for a V-12 instead of a V-8. The performance bump is meaningless as not a lot of people are taking their S-class cars for a quick 1/4 mile at the local drag strip. So they're essentially pissing away the money just to prove that they can. I feel a lot sorrier for somebody that scrimped and saved and finally was able to afford their first new car like a Hyundai or a Toyota Corolla totaling it than I do for somebody that totals a car that costs more than the median price of a new house in most parts of the country. If you can afford to drive an S600, you can afford to buy a new one if it gets wrecked.

Hah, you think a GPS system is luxury? Peep this...the car has a cigar compartment where it keeps the temperature just right so the cigars don't mess up.
