is this bad?

[Sabby]

hey
not sure if this is the right section for this but mods can move it.

i was in a car accident today. cars infront stopped suddenly, i was far enough to stop easily. but the car behind me wasnt looking and smashed into the left side of my car.
all i wanna no is, is there any real bad damage? in my opinion yes, coz the whole left side of the back is bent down a good inch. in the pics u see, the boot lid is perfectly normal. its the chassy that is stuffed.
how much will it be to fix? it cant be a rite off, can it? ( according to some ppl)
cheers
pics..

Hard to say but it's possible they might write it off. Old commies aren't worth much these days so even a small bingle can cause it to be written off.

Depends on what the floor and seems in and around the boot ended up like...

be looking at like 2 grand to fix something like that

If the chassis is bent maybe more than $2,000? Is it insured and how much for? Who's it insured with? Was the person that hit you insured? Because it wasn't your fault it (theoretically) shouldn't cost you anything. I wouldn't be surprised if they did write it off. Some insurers like mine asked me if I wanted mine written off when I was rear ended and I said I wanted it repaired.

As long as you have all their details, then your insurance should fix it for you if they are in the wrong & have no insurance. Then your company will sue them for the money.

2 Kilos?? SHARE!!!!

claim on un insured insurance, most insurance companys have it upto $3000

take it from me tho insurance companys are ****ing tight asses they screwed me on my VN


mate thats a write off, rear quarters rippled...theres big bux... chassis machine has to pull it straight or torque rack might do it but either way its not cheap..

mine was $3500 damage for a ding in the quarter panel, scratched rim and rooted front bumper also scratched bonnet, smashed headlight

sorry but thats atleast $4000-5000 damage
