Well here's the story. We were going down a two lane road; I was in the left lane, she was in the right lane about 10 feet or so ahead of me. She lost control around a left turn where she overreacted and caused herself to go into a spin. She spun around, hit the right curb, then slid into me and hit me while going backwards, and pushed me up onto the median. She then spun around a couiple more times and jumped the median, then hit a telephone pole. I am surprised she walked away from it/didn't flip the car. She got a ticket for not being able to control her speed (or something of that sort) I got nothing. It's her fault and my ins. says to call hers and they will pay for my damages w/no deductible. I have a lot of damage to my car (I am assuming $3000 or so) I have a couple pictures...

probably could have been a lot worse. I think your estimate is about right. You had aftermarket wheels on you car right? maybe time to get something new perhaps?

 

Yikes!

Glad you're both alright. BTW, who's "she"?

 

Glad you are OK!!!

 

The most important thing is you are OK.

I think you have way more than 3K in damages... I would say more like 5-6K, with original rims, if you are running 1000$ Momos, that is another story.

 

Glad your ok

 

was SO hot...under different circumstances I woiuld have been all over her, unfortunatley I was too busy crying for my car and she could barely walk. I don't think I can get different rims, since only two were damaged. I am pretty sure they still make them also. My tires are discontinued, so I have to get the new model Potenza's. I am trying to get 4 because I feel unsafe on 2 different kinds of tires.

Man that sucks... sorry to hear about that, hope things work out for ya.

 

Glad you're okay man..

you're going to be looking at over $3000 in damages.. you'll be lucky if they don't total the car.
it probably bent the frame slightly if you're having to worry abotu suspension bushings..

I had less damage on mine a while back and it cost almost $4k to fix.

but good luck.. you had a nice lookin car. hope you get it fixed up again!

 

because me and my parents have fixed like everythign in this car, and it runs great/is in near perfect condition. I took blue book/prices of what it would cost to get an equilvent car and stock thats about $5995. Then I add in all the mods that can't be transferred over and thats over another thousand, so I doubt they will be wanting to total it because I estimate 3-4k repairs like most of you said. yes I can see some frame damage around the right front tire.

Just my experience... Some girl came over into the front left corner of my Dad's Maxima and left a busted corner light as well as a nice dent. Her tire also left a big black scrape on the rim and he told the body shop about it but they didn't fix it. The metal wasn't scratched, just rubber scrape. I had to do it myself with some paint thinner. Maybe they should have fixed it but I ended up having to. Hopefully yours will be covered.
