Well, not really totalled. But I am looking at nearly $12K in repairs. I guy stopped short on me in the rain and I ended up rear ending him. The airbags were deployed, the hood is folded up and I think the radiator is f'ed too, but other the damage in the pics nothing else is wrong with it (of course there the other stuff under the hood that contributed to my $12K repair bill). How much do you guys think I could get for the car the way it is? Thanks for the input.

 

More pics to come...

 

That doesn't look like 12K in damages to me, you can get high mileage 2002 for 12K, I think.

Do you have a list of what has to be done?

 

Yeah, sorry about the poor pics, they were taken the night of the accident and the car has been in the shop ever since. I'm being a sent a copy of the damages, I'll be sure to post as soon as I can. I was told a lot of the cost is being attributed to the airbags being delpoyed and and the on-board computer.

 

yea, airbags cost at least 1000 each, depending on year and model of car.

 

well, i got my 2000 that was in a front end collision and repaired from my buddy with 80k miles for $6200. i find it a good deal on my part. im not sure how much he got it for and cost of repairs, but he drove it for about a year.
edit: this is w/o airbags. saves me a good $2000.

 

Looks rough but dont see 12k in damages.

 

Dosent look like 12K, is this a 6MT?

 

looks like 12k worth of dmg....this is based on list price of parts. headlight $740, airbags $700-900 each, airbag computer another few hundred, hood $400, fender $250-300, bumper cover $350, re-bar $250, core support, radiator, ac condensor, who knows wuts under tehre thats cracked or broken. gotta factor in paint and body labor

 

doesn't look like 12K, but the shop is going to have a party with your insurance.....

 

ye, lots of stuff messed up but id say 7k tops!

 

I'm headed out to have it towed from the shop this morning. I'm probably just going to sell it the way it is. Hopefully, I'll be able to post a list of the damages tonight. Thanks for the input everyone.

 

How much you lookun too get for it my mom is looking for a 2k2+ and i do collision repair? Is the title clear?

 

Not anymore!

 

How would you know. If he had no insurance then it would be clean. I have a 97 maxima that i bought and it was hit hard in the rear and should have been totaled and it wasnt cause it was never claimed. either he is buying the car back too try and sell it or they arent covering it.

 

Damn, sorry about the loss there. My 02 was totaled last week. Pics of her are here: http://www.verastar.com/WebSite/Deta...x?recid=383357 . It is at the auction now, so it is definitely gone. From the pics you showed, the damage looks to be mostly interior. It is amazing how much damage there can be with even a minor impact. 12k worth of damage and the insurance is not going to total the car? Or is it going to be totaled and you have the option to buy it back? I know my 02 w/43k miles is worth high 14s at the most, so 12k worth of damage doesn't seem worth fixing.

 

dude your over exagerating.. its nowhere near 12k unless the shop jips you .

i had the exact same kind of accident and it was 5k out the door.

 

okay i've done a little reaserch on car-parts.com

according to those pic it has NO where near 12K in damage.
take it to another shop or if it Is going to cost 12000 i would`t even bother fixing it.

 

There is no way that, that is 12k worth of damage. To me looks like 5-8k tops.....

 

As with everyone else, I definitely dont see $12k in damage..... maybe $6k at best.

 

no ******* way that 12k... no way it is 6k... be luckly if it was 4k in dammage, including rental car. sucks not the less, but by in no means is it totaled.

 

No where near 12,000. When they totalled my 02 max i had a front end collison and i didn't even need new headlights, but the tranny was damaged, the engine mounts toast, bumper/hood/both airbags, sunroof won't open, radiator done, all the plastic covers under the car ripped to hell. The total damage was over 13,000 and the insurance co said screw it but just barely. They almost repaired it but i wasn't gonna be a happy camper and i told them that so the called it a total loss. But your car is no where near that damaged. Probably 8,000 cause airbag work is expensive.

 

You have an e-mail.

 

You guys were right, it was about $7K in damages the rest was attributed to labor. The list is posted on Car Domain. If anyone is interested in buying it as-is, shoot me an offer. If there are no takers on the .ORG than I'll be posting it on eBay sometime next week. Thanks again everyone.

More pics to come as well.

 

FYI - I didn't make that number up, is was just the figure the appraiser gave.

 

Are you going to sell your car and just take the insurance check? The guy that hit you is going to get a nice hike in insurance premiums after that. If you sell it I want your clear corners, PM me.

 

You got PM.

How much for the CD cartridge from the CD Changer......

 

It sucks to be in an accident. My old Galant looked similar when a girl ran a stop sign at a blind intersection and I t-boned her @ 40mph. Take some pics of the radiator support, engine bay and gaps between the fenders and front doors, but so far your car does not look totaled.

 

I'll post pixs next week of how she looks now that its been repaired!

Noooo, I can fix that for like 1K or 1.5K. There's noway it's 12K bro.

 

for $1k to $1.5k you probably own a body shop/junk yard or get free parts/free labor. Still gonna cost you more then $1.5k.

vnt

 

I don't know man, mine looked worse then that and I fixed it for only 1K. Perhaps that's because we did some work by ourselfs.

 

What did you do about the airbags being blown, or the front two seat belts being locked up? Just live with it?
