Think they will fix it or total it? It's a 2003 with 140k miles.

Bad part is it had a full tank of gas, fresh oil change, and new brake pads.

I'm voting for fixable.

I had a similar accident on my drivers side, but it was just slightly more in the center of the grille. Blew up my radiator and such, $4500 worth of damage, but my local collision repair fixed it up and it still drives great to this day.

Totalled, easily. The killer is the 140K's affect on book value.

Maybe you can buy it back from the insurance co.

Fix it yourself,doesn't look that bad and the plastic parts just snap on and off....easy fix.

This isn't lego we are looking at here.:roll:


Since there is sheet metal damage there is also going to be structural damage. At the very least the rad support is going to have to be straightened.

I think I'm hoping they do total it. I'll get a newer one with less miles and hopefully the orange color I want.

Thats above the frame and probably not totaled. That would be what is called a 3/4 right clip job. If it gets fixed just put it up for sale and get the SOP you want.:grin:

I know state farm has an SOP in thier possesion

anyhow, how is this going?

if the cost to fix is in the 75% of value range the insurance company will more than likely total it (they did mine)................

 

[andym]

They have called it a total loss. The appraiser said he quit adding it up when he hit $8400. Now to get a fair settlement from the insurance and find my next E.

OUCH!! Are you going to take your accessory's off before giving it to them? And check what the buyback is.
