It's fixable but will probably cost and arm and a leg ... you could get a another one for less than what it'll cost to fix it

Very hard to tell when you cant see rails etc.

These cars are basically worth nothing now days, so it doesn't take much to write them off. It will be fixable, but the question will be if its worth it.

I would Prolly just go buy another identical car, Keep that for spare, would be cheaper and have 2 cars, one on the road and one for spares

How did the accident happen? Assuming you rear ended someone. Do you have insurance? If you were hit in the rear and pushed into the car in front, you may have the car repaired by the other party.

Is it going through an Insurance company for assesment or are you making the assesment for yourself?

Insurance companies are very quick to write-off a vehice, then sell it at auction as a Repairable Write-Off. From memory a write-off is determined by a combination of: The percentage of the damage done to the vehicles body (structual also) and then repair cost versus vehicle value. I could be wrong though.

From what I can see, it looks repairable, but like mentioned earlier chances are it'll cost you more to repair it than it would to replace it.

Sashyre's,

Well my sis was borrowing my car, driving in adel and someone tried to do an illegal right turn and didnt put there indicator on and she hit the back of him. what makes it worse is that i forgot to renew my 3rd party insurance. And the old fella she hit doesnt have insurance either.

So yer atm.. looks like either i have to fix it or buy another? lol

Doh, sorry to hear that. I hope your sister does the right thing and pays for this, as she should.
