A truck drove into the back of my 1998 r129 mercedes sl, at around 10mph for around 10 metres. He was changing lanes into my lane but didn't see me.

How much do you all think it would cost to repair?

Obvious damage is the panels and wheel. Perhaps there is more damage that can't be seen though e.g. axle?

Impossible to say without proper examination.

About the only thing you could say with certainty is that it would be an insurance write-off.

I can say with some certainty that you need a new wheel .nerd

Start looking for one on Ebay ,buy back the car if written off and pay for the repair yourself if you want to keep this car .

Is that a load of filler that's dropped out?
