I would not want to own or even drive your car after seeing that accident. No matter how much body work is put into it, I would be almost positive that it will not be the same car. I am surprised that insurance didn't total it out.

The dealer is the wrong place to get body work done. A good independent body shop (not a chain) is the way to go.

yeah sorry when ever im on this website i type retarded but when im typing a paper or on aim... perfection.. i ment.. i woulda sed it was totaled... totaled meaning its not even worth fixing it cuz it's not gunna be the same... think about it like this... your car before the carsh woulda coulda possibly sold for 12 grand... your car after the accident ... 3 or 4... your car after the fix of 7 grand... will sell for 7 or 8 at that much... do you really think its worth trying to trade in or sell....???

my car wasnt that bad at all.. just the impact was like woah... your trunk as been pushed in... put it like this... if you love your car you should see how the outcome is... it will be fixable but what u could do....

declare is totaled... and buy it back for 3 grand...and fix it.. but only downside to the money u will save is the title will say it was totaled

Looking at your pics and hearing that you are having trouble opening and closing the doors I am going to tell you that your frame Is really bent,how bad maybe bad enough for It to give you trouble down the road,meaning the car may not drive the way It did before the accident. The rear wheels or the rear axle could be tilt and It will eat up your rear tires. Since your getting your car fixed by Nissan I will recommend you to keep an eye on the job and give them extreme pressure so they can get the car close to normal. If It's not done right you can get them to do It again tell It's right, remember This Is under her Insurance so get back to normal Good Luck.

Don't total It yet, Let them work on it and then look at what they did the moldings,Framing,Painting,Interrior If everything Is seated right and the glossing If it smears ext. Don't forget when you get the car back don't let them close the ticket or the case yet,just incase the messed up somewhere they can still work on the ticket. Goodluck.
