My dad gave me this car, just wondering if anyone else thinks its a good idea to salvage. I got it for free and pick n pull has the parts down the road.

Oh man, that's nothing! For the price of free + hood, fender, headlight, bumper?

Are there any issues with the car? Well kept? Engine/tranny/interior all good? What year and model?

To be honest. It doesnt look that bad. Look at the body lines and see if theyre still straight. Make sure the car is t buckled anywhere. Take off all the damaged parts and inspect the car

Its a 95 c280. Runs pretty good actually! Idle is a little funky but once its warm runs great. Tensioner pulley squeeks but not bad. New Bumper lines up almost perfect after using a come along. It was concidered totaled back 2010. I live in washington and after being fixed it needs to go through a wsp inspection. Has anyone had a rebuilt car inspected before in washington?

that little bit of damage totaled it? that's silly.

M104 powered MBs are the "good old days" of mercedes. As long as the head gasket and wiring harness have been replaced...

Can't help you on the inspection stuff, but I'd definitely fix it and put some AMG wheels on there to replace those aftermarkets. That car and engine will never let you down if you do what's right.
