Thanks man, I appreciate it. It's sad. I only had 2k miles on it too. I couldn't beleive the looks of it. The other guys truck barely even looks damaged.

Mowbr4

I don't even want to guess at the amount it will cost to be fixed.

I'll take a stab at it! 7 large.

Mowbr4

Well I guess my deductible doesn't seem so bad now! I was thinking around 8. I can give an update once I get the estimite.

Feel free to take guesses! The furthest away pays the deductible!

Yikes, if that is 10-15 mph, I would hate to see what 35 mph would do to the car. Total it perhaps??

Mowbr4

Do you really think there is a possibility of this being considered a total loss? It is a 2011 with only 2000 miles.

g37guy01

Nowhere near a total loss, ask me how I know.

Mowbr4

I hope you're not going to tell me something bad. How do you know?

Also, how much would you guess it's going to be? I know it's hard with a picture.

Mowbr4

Here is a pic of the front. Doesn't look AS bad from this view.

^ that looks pretty bad too lol. Glad no one was hurt.

Mowbr4

Yeah, I feel like the pictures are doing it not much justice. It looks worst because the headlight was knocked out.

That looks pretty mangled...I'm going to guess 8K+ in damages, loads more if there was any frame damage...I had to have my rear quarter panel replaced, it was 2k for that piece alone (including labor + paint), but it's because that piece is welded on.

Mowbr4

I was thinking between 8 and 10. I don't think there's a chance the frame is damaged. At least I hope not!

My kid caused an accident with a brand new subcompact. Four thousand dollars on a twenty thousand+ car. Insurance company paid for the repairs. Twenty five percent of the value of the car. Your car, as bad as it looks, and I feel bad for you believe me, is nowhere near totaled. Just a bunch of sheet metal and whatever else under the covers that has to be replaced in the front quarter. Unfortunately this car will be labeled on carfax. As soon as you report an accident to the insurance co, it gets noted on carfax, even if there is no apparent damage.

As the poster above noted, until the body shop gets it, they really won't know the extent of the damage.

Mowbr4

Well thanks for the input! My car is actually a lease too.
