[200q20v] Pancaked 200 Pics

[Forhan, Thomas]

This looks very similar to my old '90 200 that backed down a hill and hit a
tree. 

The biggest problem for us was that - like your car- the rear was pushed
down an inch or two.  Totalled without getting a bodyshop to look at it.  If
anyone has an open carfax account they can check WAUHD5445LN076870  to see
if it was rebuilt anyway...!
