The E53 is and was a GREAT SAV!!!!
It was close to getting totaled the 1st time--I had about $20K in repairs and the KBB was $27K at the time. I also filed a Diminished Value claim and got a check for $6K for it. And the body shop is really good and said they can fix it (there was no frame rail damage since I got hit in the engine compartment)--they did and it was rock solid after-- 4.5 years late and hit again. This time as you can see--was not fixable. I got a check for $14K for mine from the accident.
