i was wondering if this car was even worth getting fixed. i was driving down a highway and someone rear ended me which caused me to hit a a baracade going at about 35-40 mph. i had liability and the person who hit me left the scene. my insurance company said that they couldn't do anything about it, so im going to have to pay cash for the repairs. i removed the front bumper, reinforcement bar, retainer and right fender to see what was wrong. If you could tell me what you think needs to be replaced and estimated cost i would really appreciate it

Depends if the unibody is tweaked, its not a hard fix though, fenders, hood, rad support, it dont seem to bad but pics dont tell all,

 

Not worth it.

 

it's hard to tell where the actual damage is! Can't tell how much frame work you'll need. Do you have anymore pics with different angles and more of an actual damage? Need more pics indeed!

 

How is your rear end btw? oem headlights are gonna be expensive. I would say the repair cost is gonna be in the $1k range? If it's not your daily driver, then take your time and find the parts yourself.

 

X2

only on parts u goin to spent over $$ 1K...

 

I believe its gonna be a little more than $1000... Looks to me like the whole front end is twisted. I would say $3000 minimum without seeing the rear. Did your airbags deploy?

 

From the way it appears to be sitting looks like Frame damage for sure.

And who knows what kind of damage was done to the suspension and steering components on the right side.

How are the fenders and the hood?? with teh way teh support is buckled it would seem the hood is crewed to.

Unless you have some connections in the body shop business you are talking a pretty good chunk of change.

And what's the back look like?? If there is substantial damage there also overall it could be pretty costly.

 

I dont think its worth it.

That looks as if the frame will have to be pulled and who knows what else could be minutely off center. It just looks like problems.

 

that is way more damage than 3K. And if your rear is hit or any airbag went off, kiss it goodbye!

 

i had similar damage to my car, fixed under insurance, with hood damage both headlights, new rad support, new rad, a/c condensor, both fenders, total was almost 10K CDN.

 

cheapest place to get a new headlight driver side? made a boo boo last weekend

 

Sorry to hear man.Its hard to tell how much total damage you have but the frame does look bent.

 

no
