Well folks, looks like it's my turn with a little bad luck. I got hit today by careless driver in Navigator turning without looking.

Here's the damage...The rear drivers door will not open, the rim seems damaged. You experts out there, it is really as bad as it looks?

 

Ouch sorry to see that.

 

that blows. What'd the Navigator look like?

 

Ouch...that sucks.

Looks like body damage is confined mostly to sheet metal so you may have lucked out there as it looks like the point of impact most likely did not cause frame damage. However, if he hit you hard enough to leave such large scuffs and scratches on your wheel, I am willing to bet there are some bent or damaged suspension pieces. Makes sure that when they get the car looked at, they check the suspension and make sure to get an alignment done as part of the repairs.

 

ouch that sucks man good luck with the repair

 

I noticed the scuff on the rim, too. If there is a bright side, maybe this is your chance to replace that Michelin.

 

yeah man...it really sucks. thanks for the advice, i'll be sure to get them to look at the suspension.

 

after getting your car fixed ... make sure u ask the other get money for the loss of equity in ur car

 

after getting your car fixed ... make sure u ask the other guys insurance for money due to the loss of equity in ur car

 

That sucks big time!

Hopefully the other driver has insurance.

 

Ouch...I am betting 3K+ in damage

 

can u do that? i've never heard of that...sounds reasonable though.

 

It looks like the only damage was to his bumper cover which cracked and was hanging on one side.

 

at least no one got hurt...sorry to see your rdx, and as for the equity, that is a good ? does sound resonable

 

damn, I hate to see that. Let us know how much cost to fix and how long.

 

im in the process of getting my loss of equity in my 2007 tls becuz some lady hit my car ... u juss have to get the car upraised by someone saying how much its worth before the accident and how much its worth with the accident ... send it in ... and most of the time u get money unless the state u live in has laws against it ...

g'luck and i know how u feel having a new car already wrecked

 

Ouch! My RDX is in the shop right now. Fender needs to be replaced and so does the whole bumper. You need to look close to see my damage but it rings in at $1200. I feel for you, man do I. You'll get all fixed up new, but it all just sicks anyway on a new car.

 

Yeah, sorry to hear about this. I feel for ya'. Good luck with everything, hope it comes back better than new!

 

Ouch, thats a easy 8k fix right there...

 

that really sucks man... thats alot of body parts damaged... yea i wanna know wat the american car looked like too... prolly just scuff marks...

 

I went to the insurance adjuster this morning...the initial estimate is $5800. It looks like the quarter panel, door, wheel, bumper cover and alot of other parts will be replaced. I think this number will be closer to $7000 once they remove the damage pieces and uncover what's not visible. It's also going to take about 2 weeks to fix...

Can anyone recommend any good honest reliable shops in the NYC area? (Queens or Brooklyn)

 

There was a big hole on the corner of his bumper where he hit me and they were trying to tie it back in place so it didn't drag.

 

My RDX has finally been repaired, it took a little over 2 weeks. The shop did a pretty good job, i can't tell it was hit. Here are some pictures:

 

Cool! It looks like it got fixed correctly.

 

Nice! I bet you're happy to have it back.

 

Oh yes...so happy!

 

looks good, how much $$$ if you dont mind telling us...and what about the other persons insurance, any "equity loss" money coming in?

 

Isn't there supposed to be a flap that hangs down in front of the rear tire from the body of the car? As shown here:



Looks to me like you may be missing it. See if you have it on the right rear of the vehicle. I'm too lazy to go out to my vehicle to see if it is there or not.....

 

Nice, bravo.

 

Nice! Looks like a new tire too.......

 

I just had a look and those parts are missing. Nice catch...thanks.

 

The total was $5700 and change...I paid the $500 deductible. I haven't inquired about the equity loss yet, but will do so.

 

Sorry to hear about your accident but glad its all back togeather and looks great. I got rear ended about a week ago but only had damage to the rear bumber and plastic tailgate cover. Mine is at the shop now. I cant wait to get her back.

 

Yes, new tire and rim.

 

wow man looks great... was anything with the gas tank damaged?

 

sorry to hear that you didn't have it for 2 weeks lol
your also missing your mudflap

 

Thanks! There was no damage to the tank...

 

I know, Sasair pointed that out already...I spoke to the repair shop, they are going to put it on when I get a chance to go back there.

 

nice to have that back in the road. u have to put 2 weeks woth of miles in there.

 

can i buy your engine
