Well, this escalated quickly...

Not another Nissan. Subaru is a totally different company and their cars are made with a different mindset. I calmed down since that thread and realized that if Ford and Chevy can be very different, so can Nissan and another company in the same country.

oh okay, sounds good. cause your previous post was just talking hate and distaste about the entire japanese car manufacturer's mind set. aka, the whole car manufacturing industry of japan, you were basically saying, can go f- a horse and eat it.

im glad you changed your way of thinking cause that actually works more to your advantage.

i would get it repaired and trade it in before it shows up on carfax.

Sorry to hear that. You can "hope" that ins. will total it but I don't think they will(not according to those damages) . I had my 03 350Z rear ended in 08. I bought the car for $16k. The repair ended up costing the ins. Company 12k. Those bastards still refuse to total it

. I even had frame damage. Car drive fine for 6 months. Then it just didn't feel how it was before. Waited for 370z and traded in for it. your best bet will be to trade it as soon as it fixed if you don't plan on driving it for long.

It does pull VERY VERY hard, and I'm not sure if it's alignment, tire, or something more serious. The front tire did not look to line up with the rear when I looked at it, but meh, could be perception. I need 3 new rims (rash from hell on the lips of them) and a new $1700 body wrap (yes, everything but the roof, rear-hatch, rear-bumper, and doors is wrapped edge to edge, full-panel), and...

...there will be some MONEY going into fixing this.

Your tie end rods and wheel bearing possibly damaged. Those are the first two things coming to my mind.

What he said

. If it does show up when you're trading in, file with ins. Company for diminished value claim.

Since I know your posts, I'm going suggest you German made car. The new 4 series coupe or get the upcoming BMW M4 coupe. C7 looks amazing too.

Good luck

Someone ban this guy for posting gore on the forums!

In all seriousness though, sorry to hear that.

It doesn't look totaled to me.

He meant the OP, as a joke though. Like if someone posted pictures of someone beat up pretty bad in this case is the car that's beat up so he made the joke of putting "gore" in the forums.

Just a joke he made

Lol, ok

Back on topic, OP, I wouldn't sell my car due to the damages, they are REALLY minor and you're not going to bondo anything... You'll be replacing all the parts

Sucks!

I agree. I am hoping the structure is tweaked, though. Will know something in a few days, maybe. $72/day rental car fees will make the insurance company hop up. That was literally the ONLY car they had on the lot, too, so I could not have chosen a cheaper one within their rental guidelines, so that's all on them, and I'm not paying a dime of it. Scorched earth all the way on this one. Give me what I deserve, or I'll give you a lawyer bill on top of it. Someone THEY insured caused depreciation, damage, and now I legitimately do have a killer headache. Going to Dr. tomorrow. I'm sure stuff is out of place.

I really do hope they play nice with this. I don't want a dime more than I deserve (repairs/total, depreciation if not totaled, and medical care for back/neck anything else, covered.). But I certainly won't take a dime less. Fair is fair, and their driver dicked up. Now they can do what their driver has been paying them to do.

Doesn't look like enough damage to be considered as totaled. Your Z's eyeball popped out

Be a real shame if it got hit again while sitting there. Like by an old pickup or something.
