yep i do

Indiandude89

man this totally just f-ed up my winter break... I need more of you guys opinion on the car if u think its totalled or not.. I cant wait for the insurance company any longer... its killing me...

I dont think its totalled. Your engine is still good and it likes you are just gunna need a new rear quarter panel and rear windshield. Of course some cleaning up and getting dents and scratches out. And maybe some repair to the electrical system. But I doubt that an insurance company would consider that totalled. Lets put it this way Ive seen cars in a lot worse shape driving on the roads. The most important thing is that you and no one else are severly hurt. Just try to enjoy your Break the best you can, this would bum me out too.

You obviously haven't been driving that long (17). Cars that are damaged a lot, like you said, why bother claiming it? I've seen cars, especially cars that are as exspensive to fix (HONDAS) totalled for much less damage than that. Just because the engine is alright and it runs don't mean **** about insurance. If they are getting bad quotes about fixing it, they won't hesitate to total it and send him on his merry way.

^agreed. that rear is totally and royally destroyed. if i was an insurance agent i def would call it totalled cause it would be a lot of bills sending your way to get it fixed. by the time they fix it prob wont be as great since i bet that carried all the way to the frame(could b wrong but its that bad, IMO). + if u were to get it fixed it would take way too much time and alot of rental cars till u get it bak unless the body shop is really good at that stuff

Indiandude89

if insurance does claim it totalled.. then what would their next step be? would they give me a check of how much the car was worth? I appriciate you guys opinions.. ive always came to this site for my car, just never really signed up as a member. This site is GOLD.

i hope you had gap coverage, otherwise, the ins comp will pay it's value and you'll be stuck with the diff between that and how much you owe. sorry to hear it man, but at least you're ok. cars can be replaced

Zzyzx

Um, its not totalled...

If this wasnt, then his wont be (though admittidly my car was close to being totalled)








they replaced the quarter, the trunk floor, the trunk the rear pannel and a whole crap load of other things (I was the #3 car in a 5 car pile up)

Total bill: $6,800 in repairs.

Indiandude89

the car is paid off... so no worries there... car has 50 K on it.. how much you think they will give me for this?

Indiandude89

damn bro.. hope you were alright.. your back windshied didnt break or any thing? they're probably going to have to replaced about the same things on what happened to your car, no doubt in that.. do u have a pic of the car before they started the body work?

I was going to say totalled, but if Zzyzx's wasn't, them I'm not sure, 'cause his looks worse. I think it's going to depend on whether the frame is bent or not.

OMG indian im so so so sorry. Ya well this winter break It snowed here right. So as I was driving home i hit ice my car spun and it hit a curb really hard. The rear suspension was damaged abour 1,500 dollars. Ya so it really sucked bad. Im glad ur ok. Hopefull everything works out. Call ur insurance and ask them for like a price issue. lIke for me i paid half.

My wife had similar repairs after she was hit by a semi and he drove over her rear quarter panel. She was driving a 96 civic at the time and they fixed it.

I don't see yours being totaled.

However, here is her car after I did total it....

Honda2k4

looks totalled, even if it gets fixed it'll never be the same

Go look up KBB on your car and then call the adjuster and ask what the estimate was. Simple as pie d00d.



That would have buffed right out..

i was e-braking in a freshly paved parking lot, and my car was doing some sliding, and it came real close to hitting a light pole. thankfully, my tires pulled away from the pole in time. thank you BFGOODRICH

reminds me of my card after getting rear ended, excpet mine was like $9k in damage and noot totaled

Indiandude89

i got another picture of the car.. this time its closer.. take a look

id be surprised if it was totaled, unless it has suspension damage, and it looks as if it missed the suspension. Sheet metal and glass is cheap

Maverick_1337

wow thanks god your okay, good luck but i doubt they'll say totaled...

02droppedex

Doesn't look totaled. But every adjuster is different. Look at KBB and see what it is worth. They will look at the amount of tread left on the tires, condition of everything before the wreck. Like tnfaaf said. It looks like it missed the suspension. It does suck and luckily no one was hurt. I spun out last year and slid across the highway. Luckily no one was around otherwise it could have been a lot worse.

every adjuster is different and it's really hard telling if they'll total it or not. I was going to say they would until I saw that other vic.
