How bad would you guys say this damage is? Right rear is where the other car hit...

 

hope she is ok.

looks pretty bad. I am not familiar with Chrysler's cars though.

 

Got any side profile pics?

Depending on how old the Sebring is, and Chrysler's horrible resale...it "could" be a total loss.

 

Yeah she's okay. The car on the other hand, not so much.

 

glad to hear she's doing well... wow! that might be a total loss, esp since its a 'vert... how old is the car?... and I agree... profile shots would be helpful...

 

I've got another pic I'll load in a sec.

 

Thanks... yea, what sucks is that she was less than 2 mins. from home when it happened.



here's a second pic.

its a 2003-4 convertible seabring with the sports package.

 

Seeing the side profile pic..... it doesn't look as bad as I originally thought (based on 1st pic). But still kinda hard to tell what damage there is underneath.

Maybe a 4K-5K job?

 

Looks like just body panels. Now the spare tire tub, if that was crushed or any of the surrounding area they may total it. My uncle had an 03.

 

^ That's how my old Camry got totalled. The spare tire tub and the areas around it were crushed.

 

I would not be surprised one bit if the insurance company totals the car.

How fast was the other driver traveling?

 

^ That looks banged up...

 

I thinks it done... based on the 2nd pic...looks like the area where the top stows is jacked up too... or is that just a refelection..cant tell...

 

It's totaled.

 

this was close to 10K in damage

x2


i got alot of friends in the auto body business, that definitely looks totaled if the frame and chassis damage is what i think it is

 

Dang.

 

1st glad to hear she is ok. 2nd that car is totaled...

Here is my 04 RSX-S that I had less than a year I bought new that had over 10k in damage.

obligatory: that'll buff out.

 

of course it will!

 

When I got rear-ended it cost about $6K in repairs and looked about the same as that. No pics though.

 

that sebring was probably worth that accident's damage when you guys drove it off the lot

surprised they put airbags in that rental

 

My guess is that it will be totaled. If it isn't have it fixed, and trade it in for Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infinity.

 

Fixed.

Hope your sister is OK.

 

Glad she's ok Alex, but I would push to total it if they dont.

 

She def doesnt want it back.

 

I dont want her to have it back... Ive never liked the fact that she got a chrysler

I hope the adjuster just axes it.

 

Thanks man. How've you been lately? And how about platano JR.?

 

totalled, but if it is like anyother chrysler pos, they will be able to replace the rear clip and damage willbe about 12k

 

glad to hear your sister's ok.

hope it works out with the adjustor.

 

My opinion has nothing to do with its badge.

With that heavy damage, any car "fixed" would not perform as well in another crash.

 

well my opinion has everything to do with chrysler's recent history

and I agree, if it is frame damaged and cannot be replaced with a new peice, then I would certainly not want her driving around in it any longer.

 

in all honesty, the damage isn't that bad. They cut out the well and put a new one in place. It may be totalled, it may not, it really depends on the insurance company and how much they think the car is worth. If this damage was to a new car.....they would not total it


This is based on the fact there is no frame damage, and in all honesty I don't think there is. The car did exactly what it is suppose to do in an accident, and that is crumble.

 

not true, if done properly it'll be fine. If done by a hack shop, you are correct.

 

looks fixable but probable will get the ax

 

Was she making payments on this car?
