the engine is shifted but i couldnt take a pic of the engine itself kuz i ran out of battery life.

ill know soon enuff if my car is totaled or not.

 

That's phocking gross. Can it be repaired?

 

I am really sorry to see that.

 

That sucks man. My guess is it's totalled. Good luck with it though.

 

i think it is goin to be totalled too...glad u're ok.

 

That looks pretty bad man.... lucky you aright though...

 

man I hate seeing a TL like that. But it is just a thing and as long as you're alright.....its ok.

 

holy jesus that looks terrible. i bet it is totalled.

 

Wow I didn't think it would be that bad. Good thing your ok. It does look totaled, suspention alone would be thousands. If I were you I woud hope for a total loss and think about a TSX

 

ouch, sorry man, but what happened? At least you're okay.

 

Dang mike.
I guess you will be in the IS300 pretty soon.

 

Sorry to hear and see that bro...that really does hurt just looking at it!

 

sum guy ran a stop sign in a ford pickup and we both hit while i was driving.

thanks guys for the kind words.

 

if u do lose the car is there any way i can get the wheels??? or any o

 

i think that id have to switch them and plus the wheel dat is crooked the rubber is peeled off. i donno about how insurance work and all but i doubt insuracne will allow me to do dat ifthe car were to be totaled.

 

wow that sucks. good thing your alright. I would sue his stop sign-running ass.

 

Damn Mike, it looks worse than I imagined. But at least you are ok.

 

engine i moved becaues of the accident so i'm guessing its gonna be totaled....i think i wouldn't want it back. mite run into problems with it later on down the road and hard to sell afterwards when i'm fed up w/ the problems

 

That sucks hun. It looks horrible. Glad you are OK. It's only a car, you are more important. RIP TL.

 

I had a similar accident a few months ago, my car looked a lot like that... unless theres some serious engine damage, they wont total it, our cars hold too much value

 

In a lot of ways your car is worse than mine was because you have damage to the firewall and your airbags deployed, however my damage wasn't limited to one side of the car. My guess is that they'll total it based upon my situation. From my vantage point it looks like you have damage to the firewall above the steering column, I'm not sure it's cost effective to replace that portion of the vehicle since it would require everything in front of your b-pilar to be remove from the car. Depending on your carrier I'd guess that you'll need to get to about $14500 in damages to get to 70% of value (that is if you have the newest model possible -- '01 -- and have low miles -- 24k). Good luck

 

That'll buff out

 

yea i got a 00 with 28,500 miles. so my firewall is really badly wrecked?

thanks 4 the estimate

 

My car looks almost the same. I skidded on the snow and flew off the road trying to avoid an accident. Hit the telephone pole. There was no engine damage, the car was not totaled. 11K worth of damage on initial estimate.

Thank God you are OK. Airbags help a lot.
