Hey Guys,

So i got t boned the other day and was just wondering whether so think this would be a write off or not? The curtain airbag and drivers seat airbag went off and both doors are damaged also the door hinges were ripped out of the door pillar and dented the pillar.

Cheers!

ya mum!
It depends entirely on whether the cost of repair gets to the write off threshold for your insurer. 80% or more and it's likely to be written off.

And that cost depends entirely on how much damage there is. Since VE, Commodores are actually quite strong and cleverly built in order to lower repair costs. It's the damage you can't see that needs to be assessed.

Don't expect to get a definitive answer until the damage has been professionally assessed. Everything until then is a guess.

Another first poster by the look of it.

Why do people start these stupid "is my car a write off" threads.

Buddy it does not matter one iota what 100 or 500 people on the JC forum might think and in any event they cannot accurately assess and cost the full extent of the damage or know what your policy cover is etc etc.

The insurance company will decide if your car is a write off or repairable based on their assessment of damage, costs, the current value of your car and the terms of your policy - end of story.

It looks like it should buff out, so not a write off.
