Thread: Does this look totaled?

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by TsiBoosted4g63
Alright here is the story.....this is my girlfriends car. Her car skipped timing a few weeks ago and bent valves in the head. She had her car in the shop and just got a new head and other stuff done. She got the car back lastnight at 10pm and at 8am this morning she was on her way to work and a lady slammed on her brakes when a light turned yellow at an intersection in front of her going 45mph ...

Well I agree with everyone else. From the insurance company perspective, its probably totaled, but it is definitely fixable. I have scavaging junkyards in the last few weeks looking for stuff for my car and there are plenty of parts available. In fact, I have seen more 90-91 then i have 92-94, which sucks for me since I have a 94. I sold my car a few years ago after it took a *hit...

I'm going to say yes, especially because of how old it is. Hood, fender, headlight, front bumper, and probably metal pieces behind the bumper got bent up some.

Most likely, Most AWD 1g blue book under $3k You figure: *New Hood *New Fender *Paint (they will have to paint the enitre passenger side to match) That alone will be $$, not to mention the damage to the pop up housing

you may want to check your frame, after looking at the pic's i see how bad the radiator hose is kinked, it also rippled the fender preity good. see if the wheel and strut are off center as well. Any thing can be fixed for the most part, insurance will total it out, but i would pull it aside and slowie work on it. sucks to see it sitting there like that! Good Luck with it

Insurance company totaled? Yes. Project car totaled? No. Find out if they'll let you buy it back.

Meh... I wouldn't fix it. My old shell got hit in the exact same spot and was fixed. the whole front end never lined up right again. No matter how much pulling and banging and shims I put in, things were always out of place. If you dont care about looks and are fine with just ziptieing everything into place then, go fix it.

It is totally fixable. i have many friends that fix cars that are wrecked worser than yours. they specialize in that and can fix it with new parts for cheap. they fixed my friends 2003 Mustang GT for $1300 including parts and labor, and he had flipped over in his car. i can help you get it fixed if u are willing to come to NC. other than that, try to look around for the best price.

the car is totalled only if u decide to take it to the shop and have they repair it which is retarded. junkyard is ## best friend when it comes to things like that. go to a junkyard and u can find those parts mad cheap then just spray them. i mean the cars a sleeper if it was stick and if i had the money I would buy it off u right now.

I work for an insurance company estimating auto damage so.....maybe. Hood - replaced Fender - replace Front cover - repair Radiator support will need some work and likely a pull I cant tell about the frame They will only blend the right door to color match, they will not need to do the whole side. Used parts should give you some room....its mainly gonna depend on the milage and overall condition of the rest of the car... my guess...yes. Take...
