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.

 

That sucks man. I'd go get some estimates first.

 

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....

 

How do you manage to get yourself in these pickes?....doesn't look that bad...I say fix it and keep the car....if you're looking to sell the car, how much u going to ask for it?

edit** after seeing some of the pictures, the frame is definately bent and will need to be pulled....don't know what that wll in turn cost.

 

radiator support was damaged, repairs will run me 2k-2.5k. I'm fixing though.

 

Buy some new tires while you are at it. If you were tipsy, what state was your friend in? Next time take a cab.

 

Dam, just be glad you walked away from it.

 

How much for amp dude?

 

How much do you want for the headunit?

 

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?

 

Damn, that sucks.... On the same note, I just replaced 2 of my tires today....

 

word how much for the hu and pics please...

 

dont think i'm selling HU anymore. I just cant part with it. I need navi more than anything on this car.

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

keeping my speakers, lol i cant part with those either.

BTW, body work is fixed, i overestimated the problem. But i still need new brakes, gotta fix my wheel bearing issue, and have to pay my parents back for money loaned to fix car. Total came to 2 G's..... i'm back!

 

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

 

Clearly you have committment issues....congrats on getting the max fixed...and how the hell do you have 7,900 posts? u clearly need a girl in your life.

 

This post brought to you by the word "clearly" and Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. :P

 

Glad you decided to fix it. Keep it as you will need it.

 

that sucks. ive been in many fender benders, but not because of bald tires. makes me want to change mine before something bad happens.

 

Good stuff man, nice to hear. I'll see you soon bro!

 

i wish i could have mine fixed after its accident- it is totalled...with the trunk pushed in

 

Damn Mecca.....
