With the new and better-looking than its predecessor (in this author’s mind, at least) 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 having been on sale for the past couple of months in Europe, it would probably be a stretch to say this is the first ever crashed example, but we can tell you it’s the first we’ve seen.

Aside from alleviating our curiosity of what a front end collision would do to the new S500 sedan, the other interesting thing about this car is where we found it (listed for sale) and how much the shop is asking for it.

The asking price for the S500 Long, the owner of which managed to put only 1,200km (745 miles) on the odometer before face-lifting it, is €97,000 (about US$129,000), which sounds kind of absurd in our ears given that a brand-new, undamaged and roadworthy (this isn’t) S500 starts from €104,601 (US$139,100) in Germany.
