I got rear ended by a 97 Sentra today. My bumper is pushed flush with my trunk, the exhaust is all bent, and the spare tire is stuck in the well from the impact. Funny, my rear lights are almost OK. Just one small chip.

I was stopped, signaling to turn, when the Sentra behind me saw me at the last minute, locked up the tires and plowed into the back of me.

I will find out if the car is written off tomorrow when they look at it.
I hope not, but the with 174,000 miles it is not worth much, so it is easier to write it off.

I may be looking for a 99 5-speed Maxima.

(Praying for it to be fixed, not written off)

 

 

I find your reply immature. Do you need to see the "blood and guts?" Can't I share what happened without "this is worthless with out pics?"

 

Why don't you check out his website to see some picks of his car .http://www.motorvate.ca Give a little respect.


Sorry to hear this frank. I really hope everything turns out right. Yes get a 99. You won't be getting a G35 will you?

 

Even if it is a write off, buy it back and fix it. Isn't that even a better senario?

 

You're worthless.

Frank : good luck... I know a few salespeople here and there so if you end up looking for a new car, maybe I can help. But I already gave you my thoughts on the other forum

 

Oh no!

Sorry Frank, hope it all works out for ya.

 

that was such a clean car...hope it all works out for the best.

 

Oh man ... that sucks.

Hope every turns out ok. But at least you're looking at another Maxima if the car gets written off so you'll still be in the family.

 

sorry to hear...

 

Thanks everyone. I didn't realize that the org is also good for therapy.

I will post pics after I drop off the car at the shop.

-Frank.

 

Update: Took the car to Oaktown Collision (In Oakville) and they will tell me the amount of the damage tomorrow.

By popular demand here are some pics:


The re-bar behind the bumper is broken in two, and that pushed into my trunk so much that the spare tire was stuck in the trunk.
I will post more when I know more...

Thanks for all your support and comments. Only car guys understand this stuff.

-Frank

 

I hope everything turns out for the best. Beautiful Maxima you have(had) there.

On a lighter note... Have you taken the "rental" out for a 4-wheeling 'test drive' yet?

 

YES, but just a little one for now. 4 wheeling is kind of cool.

 

You take the coolest pics.. sorry to hear though

 

man, i'm sorry to hear that. Well, as long as you are alright...

hopefully you'll get the car written off like you want it. Maybe the next car won't be so much of a trouble when it comes to trannies

 

such bad news for the maxima owner with one if not the most informative maxima website out there. hope it all works out for you.

--Paul

 

I hope u get your car fixed fast and crank out more informative writeups for the Maxima community.

 

Even if the car is written off (which I DON'T want), I will be picking up a 99 Maxima, so I can put the y-pipe and suspension on the newer Maxima.

motorvate.ca is not going away, I have tons of content to add from work I did in the summer.

 

I don't think that happyricefob meant any disrespect with his pic request. That seems fairly common in accident threads. Maybe it should NOT be, but most of the time we like to see what the extent of the damage is, not to bask in your misfortune. I am not necessarily defending his action, but I don't necessarily think that he meant any disrespect, either.

That said, glad that you are doing okay, and best of luck with the insurance company!

nice

 

good luck with everything, at least u get the 4 x 4 drive back with the 4 wheeler, just like bein on stock springs on the max, lol jk!

 

and have a salvage title? why would u do that? also, get paid, then buy it back for more money? stupid plan

Sorry to hear MaxVQ, no matter how u deal with it, car accidents are horrible. they shouldnt write that off... doesnt look that bad

 

Good News! My Maxima is not going to be written off!

I will find out more info tomorrow.
Let the dancing begin!

 

 

someone said dance right? anyway... CONGRATS! i told you they wouldnt write it off, really didnt look that bad

 

Frank, is this the beast that created that monstrous burnout in one of your videos? I showed it to many non-maxima owners and the "holy sh**s" were neverending.
Make the best out of the poor girl and keep up the good work on motorvate.
P.S. I keep forgetting to check those codes for my acting-up AC, you told me about. But I will soon...

 

 

Glad to hear things are working out the way you want. Alot of times that doesnt happen


I love the rental btw mmmm

 

 

Yup, that is her.
They tell me I should have my car in a 11-12 days. I can't wait!

-Frank

 

that's the spirit!

and i'm really sorry to hear about the accident. It can happen to anyone just like that... unfortunate that such a simple sounding incident will have such a lasting effect

good luck with getting it fixed

make sure they do a good job and don't leave anything out. I find most body shops manage to screw something up and will typically go for the overall 'visual' of getting the car fixed to cut costs and time.

 

I wonder how difficult/expensive would it be to put a rear end off one of the newer I30s. Those slanted taillights are soooooooooo nice.

 

I too have shown that video to a lot of my car buddies... the first reaction is "thats a maxima?.... like the one you have?...lol, ur kidding right? wait...whats wrong with YOUR car then?" Even my friend who owna 65 and a 98gt mustang was impressed by the ammount of smoke, and your guts to go for it. instead of all talk... it was all smoke
