no story for now. how bad do you guys think it is? the bumper fell off and is kinda in good shape. leaking a bit of coolant but otherwise, it's kinda driveable...

Smalls

ouch, glad you're ok

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

how did u fuck up the back & front but not the side

VB87

Ouch...that's gonna cost quite a bit. The whole side body is dented. Hood, bumper, some engine work will be needed.

What happened?

Acura3.0CL

ummm....ok...a 97 3.0 is quoted at around $6000 value.

By just looking at the pictures.....ouch...

hood, trunk, front & rear bumper, headlight, taillight, front and rear quarter panels, maybe some engine/suspension work.....did the air bags go off??
Oh. DONT FORGET PAINT!!

Umm im sorry to tell you...but your probably gettin reeeaallllyy close w/ it being totaled.
IE. damage cost is probably going to be right round the cost of the car...it could be totaled.

I know it might not look that way, but after I had a few dents (that i could hardly see) from hail...I got the car inspected....$3,000 in damage. Paint was most of the cost...and for you, you lookin at paint for the bumpers, hood, trunk, whole side of the car, and maybe a few other places....

Damn man...glad your ok...but WTF did u do!?! (please tell me this wasnt your fault!

rayman1031

not that it helps, but i don't need a new front bumper or trunk and the air bags didn't go off. parts alone, i figure it'd be close to $2000. would it even help to go through insurance or would they just claim it totalled?

tman89544

SHIT!

Thats terrible, what did you do? Hit a guardrail?

If you are getting rid of it then you better get ready because people are going to become from EVERYWHERE to buy shit off it.

Acura3.0CL

ok..well it looks to me that there is a dent in the trunk...meaning the dent will be fixed..and the whole trunk will be repainted... = $$$

Mulk

im 95% sure that'll be totaled. new hood painted, about $1000, headlight $200, grill $100 ?, radiator $150 ?, rear bumper $500 (im positive of that), new rear quarter panel i hear is like $2000 painted, wilp99 knows for sure, the front fender painted ill guess $800. theres GOT to be more than those things, and thats almost $5000. keep in mind some insurance companies total the car once the repair costs exceed 75% of the cars value.. it depends based on the company though, some are like 60%. Glad you're ok though and good luck with everything.

Acura3.0CL

I know im an ass....BUT.....if it comes to it being totaled...

If the passenger headlight and taillight are still good....I call dibs!

Dude, back off his parts, he just wrecked his baby

Sorry to see that bro, that sucks bad

Sumaccordguy1994

that looks similar to my brothers 2000 Civic SI a couple years ago, hit ice and nailed a guard rail... and they totaled it. Civic = Cheaper parts too.

sorry about the accident, but If its totaled, I call the rear speaker grilles!!

rayman1031

my car is not my baby, although i thank you for your sympathy, 97BlackAckCL. if my baby got wrecked i would die. speaking of dibs if totalled, how does it work? i thought the insurance company takes the car and pays me off.

Mulk

yeah the insurance company will buy the car from you, but you have the option to keep it and part it out yourself and not get anything from the insurance company. Sometimes you can get more money that way, it depends how many parts you can get off of it and sell, and what people will pay for them.

Sumaccordguy1994

just grab some parts from the car before they take it and make a few bucks... as long as its nothing major like the entire interior, haha.

iTrader: (2)

yep, thats totalled 100%

bebop.fey

IMO i think it's totalled and not worth the money fixing it =/ sorry to tell you
and shit i got into an accident before as well -_-'' fuckin immigrants with no insurrance

CL Platano

Definately totaled. You will probably get more than it's worth so get something different like a 2nd Gen CL..My piece of crap civic ex with 135K insurance gave me 6,500 for and I used that to buy my now retired CL..

SwervinCL

My front end looked a bit like yours, but i had more suspension damage. My damage was 7500. Start looking for a new car.

slamed_cl_on_18z

I just droped off my car right now and it wasnt nothing major. Hood 456$, each headlight $272 with tax, bumper cover $250, fender $211, bumper support 115$, grill 100$ or sumtin lie that, the hood shock to lift hood is like 30$ nuts screws clips 40$ then the paint job and labor for it came out to be $2311. with some change. Its really coming out to be close to 2,800$ I paid a little extra over so I can get the PDG bottom with black top two-tone paint job. CANT WAIT!!!!

Black 2 tone will look so pimp

slamed_cl_on_18z

yea its going to be PDG bottom with black top something like this but two-tone. What you guys think?

slamed_cl_on_18z

Btw thats is the factory sundance color correct from the 3.2 cl type s?

wilp99

wave goodbye.. that mofo is toast. atleast 5-6k in dammage. mainly front frame integrity. theres no upper cross frame (just forward of the radiator. left main frame, you have a 3.0 so im almost positive you broke the block somewhere.. could be just the point where the motor mounts are but im sure theyre broken off or the screws are ripped out of the block.. just too much dammage to even begin to estimate. toast..


so whats the beef behind the accident.. dont make us make up our own storey..

Sumaccordguy1994

Any chance you can get a hold of the damaged headlights? I'll take 'em. PM me please!

rayman1031

i appreciate your enthusiasm, sclaz21, but there's only one girl for me, YOU.

to CL Platano: you said you got 6500 for your civic ex? what year was it? it sure would be nice to hear that i might actually get something good out of this... like... 8k for the car? lol

99_CL_girl

Damn. Id be a mess if that was my baby. Glad you're ok. You've kept us in the dark for to long. What happened?

rage007

SwervinCL

tman89544

Seriosley, nobody is going to make fun of you if you slipped and hit a freeking guardrail or something.

It happens to the best of us.
