OH BOY, another max gets in a fender bender, assistance please
2 days ago, my friend is driving my car cause i'm too tipsey to drive and upon entering the parkway, the back lets go of the street (not speeding or anything but i do have bad tires) and car spins and back bumper gets tagged badly and same with front.
I think these parts need to be replaced (had a shop check car out too)
Back bumper
front bumper
hood
radiator support
*possibly passenger fender*
Car runs well, i did all maintenance, its an SE sterling mist with sunroof, 68k miles, and im guessing repairs will cost between 1500-2500k depending on where u go and where u get parts. I'm thinking of selling the car as is to someone who knows how to take care of this type of stuff...or fixing it myself. Any suggestions? This sucks, i only had car for like 4 months, school starts in a week and i just got a long distance job. I just want a car that runs and is not too bad on gas mileage, i'll take an older prelude or something...or a 4th gen again...pics coming soon. If anyone is interested, hit me up....BTW, no one was hurt, we didnt hit anyone, it was a stupid accident, the damage is much worst than one would think with the type of impact that was made. We hit a guard rail....

btw, it looks like the front was pushed in a little. There are no leaks, radiator is not touching the engine or anything like that but it looks a little squished. Car makes a little noise, as if the belt was a little off but other then that there are no problems.

first 9 pics are of my car. I'm selling my Arc 4150XXK amp and my Diamond Audio D3 600.1 amp and my Eclipse AVN 5435 head unit to help pay for damages. If anyone is interested in anything, let me know.

I did. One said 2 grand but his quotes on parts were way more than what i found so I'm about to find a spot to let them strip as i get the parts and slowly put car back together...unless someone can shoot me an offer....

dam bro i was in a jam like that 2 weeks ago, except no body damage, just windshield airbahgs, controlarm, tie rod, strut, spindle, knuckle, hub, rim, and that was all because of BAD TIRES
didnt you have a supacharged max?
btw how much you want for the amp?
and the comps?

I'm selling my D3600.1 for around 260 shipped

oh yea, my AC condensor belt was shredding, got that replaced as well. I did major research thinking of letting car go but comparing gas mileage with other cars and the power i get from this, plus its stick shift and i know the engine is in the best shape of its life, i'm gonna keep it...should be getting car back within a few hours, thats why i'm on the org so early
