My guess?, they’ll fix it up and sell it as new to an unsuspecting customer.
The good thing - the windshield didn’t crack, so they won’t have to replace that.

Man that hurts to look at..

..I'd imagine that the insurance company will be buying that Max & it will be sold at an auction.

the dealer probably fixed it im guessing and is selling it. last summer i was at a acura dealer looking for a type R, and they guy told me they had one, BUT it fell off the truck so it was in the back and they were fixing it. wonder if the car fell on the front and slid and fell on its side =O

Well I guess I should be happy that it wasn't my Anniversary Edition Majestic Blue Pearl Maxima. They will fix and resell as it will cost less than replacement, probably....but dealership must relay damage to potential customer by law. Guess someone could get one hell of a deal on a Anniversary car .........say 15k new!!!!

Well you all know that paint chips are common with our Maximas, so normal paint chipping from driving on a regular road @ 15 MPH, falling off a truck, ehh what the hey same ol' thing....

JK, im crying on the inside...

am i the only one that thinks that looks photoshopped? the chances of someone being across the street with a camera in hand and ready just as this is falling off of the truck is pretty rare...

yea i just noticed.. how come the maxima looks like it is barely touchin the hood of the truck? and how in the world did it fall from the top of the truck to the front? im pretty sure they change those things down pretty well.

Well it could be photoshopped your right, but I think the "poor baby" fell off and was just so called sitting their and wasnt moving like leaning on the truck and not about to flip over so possibly someone had enough time to take the picture since it wasnt falling but well maybe,
