Hello, I rear ended someone at a stop sign back in late october and Bent the top portion of the core support far enough to nearly touch my uel headers. Externally you cant tell the dmgs are bad other than the obvious lifted hood from the bent hinges proping the hood up.
Four days later after the accident a estimator checked out my cars dmgs and reported about 3k in repairs. I sent the car to a shop associated with my insurrence about 1.5months later after recieving my claim money but now after the shop took my headlights out and looked at the other possible dmgs it went up to 7k and my car is now a total loss. Insurrence never called me after the shop called them and now im stuck in a pickle. Only reason im not gonna total the car because the chassis and engine/Tranny only haves 53k miles.
It runs and drives fine with no overheating issue even with the coolant line that kinked but only overheated it once.
What options are there for me?
And anyone with experiance, it this really 7k to repair this? Ive seen worst accidents and repairs were below 5k.
Yea i did look at bachands thread. But his was just the passanger side. Mines bent on both sides and I remember hearing that the bottom portion of the headlight mounts were about to rip off. So im guessing there is no main frame dmg but the car is stuck at the shop.
Im gonna have to call insurrence later today or friday.
