Got hit today by a negligent driver.
So I was taking my car to get it worked on. Was gonna black out my head lights and add halos to it. On my way to the shop, some 19 year old in his pickup ran a red light and t boned my 40th...
I don't recall the last time I was this irritated. He later gave me his insurance info and I filed a claim. I sent the car immediately to a shop here in Dallas that I trust.. But this is my first ever wreck, it wasn't my fault.. And I have him on recording on my phone admitting that he ran the red light and he says "he wasn't paying attention" What do you guys think? Is it totaled? What should I do if it isn't totaled? Very sad and pissed today.. See pics below.

Bad whiplash or nah? Since it's his fault, might as well go to the hospital and get it checked out IMO. That's good that you got him on a recording though..

Total or not will depend on unibody damage. If it's just the door and fender panel you're probably ok. Otherwise you're going to be car shopping.

They wouldn't total that. Except for the A post (maybe bent - most likely yes), it is cosmetic/skin damage. Did you look underneath? Any leaks, straight or bent?
Good luck.

Sorry to hear man and glad that you walked away okay. Considering where the damage is it could've been worse. A car can be repaired or replaced. As mentioned before, if you're feeling soreness or pain anywhere, get it checked out to make sure you didn't sustain any injuries before signing off on any papers.

I'd hope for a total loss... Sad to see a 40th go, But once repaired it may not be the same again. But I think they will total it. The rear wheel is pushed out of alignment somehow (spin into a curb?) so there's going to be possibility of some undercarriage damage if not just suspension.
If they don't this will be on the Z's carfax and it will diminish it's value pretty badly... You can ask/fight for the difference in diminished value by getting a trade in quote from a dealership and using that as evidence that the value took a big hit. |
