is she totaled?

got t-boned by a sentra. whats with the nissan-on-nissan hate here?

From what I can tell the frame is straight. Its mostly suspension and body damage.



the passenger rim is bent.


the driver side of the axel is bent.


both struts are bent.



I dont know if I should start pullin my parts off or if they will fix it. I'm having to deal with the girls insurance because my insurance provider mis-informed me about a payment when I dropped my Jeep and I lost coverage a month ago.

Has anyone had similar damage, and about how much was the repair. Thanks.

yeah, 95. Thats what I thought. I know you can get quarter panels and cut out the old and weld the new. My neighbor got hit in the quarter in his tiburon and they fixed it. But his wasn't nearly as bad. I'll wait and see what the insurance adjuster says and if its totaled a guess I'll start pullin stuff out.

Being that the car is a 95, its most likely totaled. it can be fixed but the costs of repairs is going to be more then the cars value. You could lalways buy it back and have it fixed out of your pocket plus whatever else they give you for the car.

she totally looks totaled, a lot damages on the car. I mean if it was only the bent rear quarter panel, it would be kind of worth it. BUT you suspension is damaged pretty badly. so Yeah. Go for an upgrade. get the 97-99 maxima, you love it just like you love(d) your current one that is damaged. Also start parting out your car, you'll hopefully make good money.

just needs some elbow grease

Here;s how I bought my 95 SE $400 bucks in great running condition, charcoal leather interior and brand new tires, $100 for a used door, 135 for new carpet and here's where I'm currently at.

Well technically if the frames not bent its not really totalled right? But I'd say that the other damage is def. conditions for being totaled lol. Move on to a new one...Sucks but at least you're in good shape!

I sure did and it runs great. has 160K miles and the check engine light is on, but I'll fix that after I finish fixing the big dent.

If your driving without insurance on that car, the other company is going to outright refuse your claim.

That car is repairable, but the cost of the repair and givin it's age, it's a total loss.
