Well, this escalated quickly...

The interior seemed shifted to me. Maybe it's just my perception of the rear bar. I was pumped on adrenaline, so who knows?

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.

My buddy just had $15000 plus worth of repair work done on his Z after a rear ender took him out... The car is like new he says and no problems.
Keep the faith!

That's what I thought about my windshield repair...but 6 months later now, I do get a bit of a rattle from the base of it even though they used the correct foam strip. Give it time. I'm pretty bent on selling this car, it's been **** luck since I bought it. Destroyed windshield in day 3 of ownership, less than 500 miles on it, and now this. I better sell while it's still salable!

Your choice! Sorry to hear of your luck...

I feel ya on selling her. My fiance's C300 had a wrench fall down into the engine while driving (Tire Kingdom thread) and the cost to repair was just under $900. We're looking at the same car/same year/same everything with 30,000+ less miles on it and going to take a $5,000 hit just to know it's never had the damage we reported on ours.

Understandable. Part of my desire to trade is that I've had my fun with the car, it's cool, but I'm on to the next thing. Also, I'm getting used to having a few grand a month that I can save/spend how I want, and think that a few hundred bucks more would just make me smile more. I'm very tempted to hold on and get the 2014 BRZ STi when it comes out, if the interior is as nice as what was shown in the Tokyo show.

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

Another NA car with even less power?! You looking to downgrade? Pretty sure there is gonna be wayyyy better performing stuff coming out in 2014/15 for around the same price. To each their own I guess.

Not totaled at all, not even close...

New fenders, new paint, new lights, done deal

didymus · 01-15-2013, 05:57 PM

Doubt it's totaled

Sucks!

Strangler · 01-15-2013, 06:04 PM

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