Asked by Coyjef Jul 27, 2021 at 03:14 PM about the 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL 550

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had a piece of tire re-thread come off an 18 wheeler and break my fog light
and damage the grille of my sl550 MB. I reported to my insurance and it was all
repaired. Now it is showing up as an accident in my vehicle history. Should I
explain that when trying to sell my car?
