Love the plate!  Here is my MKS also with 11k in damage.  They never made it right which is what led me to trade it in on the ecoboost I have now.

Glad your feeling better...

Sorry to hear about the magnitude of the problem on the car.  You not only have the damage now, but also the decreased value both now and in future due to the accident and absence of a clean CarFax.

That's that Dark Ink Blue right? Oh man I love that color so much, I was disappointed as hell when I found out I couldn't have it and the Ecoboost engine when I started looking for cars, I think it's simply stunning. What happened to yours, it doesn't look too bad but clearly looks can be deceiving.

Yeah, diminished value is going to be discussed when it's time to settle everything, I'm not real thrilled about what this accident is going to do to its resale value.

Yeah it was dark ink with cashmere interior. It really was a gorgeous car. It was cursed though as far as I was concerned. Shortly after buying it I saw evidence that it had been repainted on the back of the drivers side. Found scratches on the drivers door glass that looked like it had been broken into. Then I was backing slowly out of a parking spot and someone clipped the rear bumper. I never did get that fixed. It had a few things that never worked 100%. Then I was day dreaming apparently and when I came to there was a focus stopped in front of me. It didn't look like much but the bumper collapsed to the frame cross support and bounced back. Popped my airbag. They did a crap job on the paint match and I was never going to be happy with it. They also put 3 driver side headlights in it before getting one that I could align and it still had a horrible beam pattern. I was so happy this dealer had a sport appearance MKS and we could work out a deal. No money down, I just signed some papers and started a new loan for the same payments I had before. Seemed like a no brainer. And that was with the rear bumper still damaged!

Edit: forgot to mention I bought it 3 years old with 13000 miles on it!  It still only had 52 when I traded it in.
