hey guys wassup? last night i banged my car pretty bad on da highway...i lost control like at 80 and banged the guard rail with the fron of the car then bounced of and banged the other side and messed up my rear end. luckally i feel fine but my car makes me feel like sh*t.i want my max back. here are the pics.if any of u guys could tell me how much i would expect to pay it would be appriciated.thanx(how would i post an image on this)

 

would i be able to put a 97 max bumper on my 95

 

sorry to hear that man. Good thing you're ok. Email me the pics and i will host them. cscm094@optonline.net

 

another max gone .....glad your ok man..good luck with everything...car will get fixed

 

i sent u the pics csm... thanx bro

 

yes you can put a 97 bumper on, sorry to hear the sad news, another maxima banged up during the month of july....

 

what about 97-99 head lights??? and grill

 

 

thanx....but i cant watch.

 

what would i need to fix the back.i know in da front im going to need new fender hood bumper and headlight...but the rear????????

 

man! that was a nice car too... Good luck with getting everything taken care of, glad you're ok!

 

thanx

 

The rear is another story because it's part of the unibody. As long as the frame is not bent you can just have a bodyshop cut out and weld in a new fender. But it's an inticate welding job that you'll have to leave to a bodyshop.

If there is no insurance and money is an issue, then do this;

1) Get a bodyshop esitmate for all the repairs. This will give you a list of parts that are damaged.

2) Determine which of those you can sawpo yourself from junkyard parts, like fender/headlights, bumper

3) Go back to the bodyshop with the crunched rear and new odd-colored front parts, and pay them to fix the rear plus paint all the new parts.


This is not gonna be cheap. My guess is the initial estimate is gonna be between US$5-6k

 

in mid January - the highway was covered with ice and i lost control at 55MPH- i hit the median , bounced off, spun 2 times and hit with the rear - dang- brand new Kumho 716 tires had worse traction than 2 years old Michellins.
but my damage wasn't even close to that !!!! insurance paid over 6K to fix it.

good luck with the repairs - if the front control arm is bent and needs to be replaced - i'd say totall it .

glad You are ok !!!

is your wrist swollen and hurting really bad from steering whell rebound ??? mine did like crazy !!!!

Nick.

 

nah im like perfectly fine. i was just a bit shaken up but...wow that much.im screwed then

 

sorry to hear man, that car is a total loss.. the rear alone is 5k+ damage.

 

Im glad to see the Airbag didnt come out, I used to have a '94 tbird...for a month... and when I gave it flying lessons and landed upside down in a ditch i got some horrible cuts on my wrists, hands, face and a broken nose (blood and everything) from the airbag.. i got some serious steering wheel rebound too on both wrists..and I can't forget that the 'friendly' Georgia State Patrol officer was nice enough to write me 2 tickets!...bacon...oink..oink..

 

The same thing happened to me while i was driving my 300zx. I had just gotten my front stillen nose piece put on. I was travelling down a winding road about 65, when the wheels couldn't grab on the road. I went into the guard rail and bounced into the other side of the road. My car was totalled I couldn't drive it home. I opt for a different car once i knew my car was gone.
My 300zx looked like your car, it's probably better just to opt for a used max if this one is too much to fix.

Glad you're OK, man. Get well and play the lotto lot more.

 

thanx for all the support guys

 

I can't look at those pictures!!!

Glad you are OK.

 

Yeah dude, it's a sad sad day when a max gets hurt , just a thought I had, how did you lose control at 80? was it rainy, slippery or somethin?

 

well 2 ricers must of been racing like *******es cut me of and the second guy cliped my front bumper i spun out ang banged...i say the one who clipped me and he spun out but didnt hit anything just spun out and kept moving...luckally i didnt hit anyone else

 

saw*........i saw a guy on da org that on his homepage had pics of his max and he got hit from the back like in the same side i got hit by a talon.anyone know who im talking about the crashed seemed similar

 

damm dude sorry to hear it, truthfully i dont think tis worth it to fix that car, take your modds off and buy another max and it will end up cheaper. Good luck man.

 

another max down when will hte maddness end, damn july and august

hte rear panal damage is way too much, i would buy another max

 

Nick...how does the replaced control arm affect the car's performance? just wondering...

 

But once the car been in the body shop after the accident - it's never be the same my max had minor front passenger side damage - body shop replaced front quater panel , they got the hood straighten out and front bumper cover was repainted along with hood and q-panel + replaced corner light, and lower control arm supposely was bent.

for rear - they did some body work to straighten the rear q-panel
and repalced rear tailight .

with the price tag of more than $6000 !!!

insured by USAA , work done by Gerber Auto Network.



CAR IS NOT THE SAME !!!

when i crashed my max, the price to fix everything up was 14k!! good luck. but you should be lucky that you are OK. You only live once.

 

Eh, you probably should file a police report if you were involved in a hit and run if you haven't already.

 

ehhhh....Nick? where's the answer?

 

yea if u got hit and then u lost control, u should definitely file a report. why should u pay for someone else's error. I say if u find the person, take them to the cleaners.

 

you can fix up mustang after crash in your driveway,
but you can't do that to maxima after crash.

enough said !
