Wrecked...

that is true to a certain point..if the repairs are under 10K then it doesnt go on the carfax. its happened to me once

kenchan · 12-22-2010, 08:19 PM

sorry to hear about your accident.

Snakes709 · 12-22-2010, 08:27 PM

Or you could just leave the insurence company out of this, pay $20k out of your own pocket and repair it yourself. As long as the engine isnt damaged, everything damaged can be done in your driveway...lol. And it wont effect the resale value cuz no one will know about it.

To me, it looks like the car is totaled. Of course this is pure speculation from the pictures you've posted, but it does look as if you may have some rail damage.

I'm not sure how carfax works, so I was kind of asuming the fact a police report was made would assure that the collision made it on to carfax.

Alright a new problem arose. They towed my car but never told me where they took it. Is that a problem and what should i do?

You call the police department of the city where the incident took place and they'll tell you.

Snakes709 · 12-22-2010, 08:37 PM

call them up and ask them where its at. You going there wont help any. The insurence company will go look at the car in the next few days to get a estimate of how much it will cost and will decide what to do.

Well if the collision took place in a busy area, and the vehicle isn't operable, they'll have it hauled to a yard nearby and then have you pick it up.

Of course each state has their own way of doing things.

Snakes709 · 12-22-2010, 08:52 PM
