Possible Total loss. Need opinions

Triggerhapy · 03-23-2017, 03:35 AM

Some one ran a red light and hit my wife while she was driving her 2017 Z. Im thinking its a total loss. what do you guys think? The front end is pretty smashed. the Passenger window looks to be out of alignment so it may indicate the chassis is pretty crooked.

Sorry to hear about what happened and hope the most important thing is your wife's Okay!

It looks like it maybe a total loss.

TerribleONE · 03-23-2017, 11:05 AM

Glad your wife is ok. Cars are replaceable people aren't.

I agree with trips looks like a total loss.

danegrey · 03-23-2017, 11:08 AM

Glad she is ok,
yea another Z bits the dust

Krazzzz · 03-23-2017, 11:58 AM

Dammit. Just hope the wife is ok. Effing idiots running lights.

I'd say you probably are looking at a new car. Another stupid SUV/pickup truck driver.

OldGuyFla · 03-23-2017, 12:09 PM

Hope all is o.k. I would push for a total loss, shouldn't have to repair a new car like that. It just isn't the same after a crash that big.

Thank you guys for your concerns. My wife is bruised and sore and you're right, she priceless compared to the car. The airbag deployed and seatbelt retractor did their job. im hoping for a total loss as I'm fully covered and have the gap coverage too.

Excellent. I've crashed a few timea really tough racing karts and just have her take it easy. It'll be a few days of soreness.

Good luck with the z as well.

Don't worry too much about the Z, that's what insurance is for. As long as your wife is OK, that's the most important thing. As for the SUV driver, pass the baseball bat.

Duc_Z09 · 03-23-2017, 03:06 PM

That one's binned for sure. Hope the wife is OK.

Triggerhapy · 03-23-2017, 03:09 PM

Sucks. We only put 8000 on the odometer. Never even got a chance to really dog it out.

HulaGirl · 03-23-2017, 06:09 PM

Sorry. Those pics are painful to view. I'll be interested in what your insurance says.

alcheng · 03-23-2017, 07:44 PM

gosh.. glad your wife is ok, but better go to a family doctor to have it fully checked couple days later since that's when those pains start surfacing.

I'm pretty sure the insurance will write it off, too much a hassle for repairing stuffs like that.

Good luck man!

Hope ur wife recovers soon.
