I got into an accident today with my toaster. im crushed...and so are my passenger doors. the front doesnt open and the rear doesnt close. the door jambs are pushed in. i just ordered new taillights and now have to wait to put them on. anyone else have a similar situation to give me peace of mind that everything will be alrite?


ill try posting some pics tonite

 

what happened dude ? people on here have had accidents for sure. sounds like you got quite a bit ahead of you ....

 

yea really, Driverlost hit a deer in his 3.0 and it totalled it, fender, hood, windshield, both drivers doors, quarter, and bumper

 

a rock hit my car. about the size of a grape. i was soooo mad! i just wanted to kill myself. Then the next day i was fine. Probably gonna cost you an arm and a leg, and maybe some fingers to fix it.

 

was tboned as i was turning left. looks pretty bad, but most people ive asked said its not that bad. i just want my toaster the way it was when i woke up this morning

 

If your jambs/pillars are pushed in as you describe, you might be looking at a total loss. Can we get some pics?

 

Sorry for your problem--keep us posted on the details.....

 

im goin out now to find light and take pics...be back asap

 

ok guys heres the pics..theyre kinda crappy cuz its dark and i used my camfone

heres the main shot of damage



this is where the front door doesnt shut



sideways shot low of damage



bottom of front door...jamb pushed in



bottom where front meets rear door



inside rear door...the only one that opens on that side



this is all the door opens



this doesnt shut off now



tell me what u guys think...im gonna add more pics (in the day) tomorrow

 

these shots it doesn't look that bad, they can skin the front door possibly, if you request that they use used parts instead of new they should be able to save your car, new rocker skin and b pillar skin, and probably 2 doors and it should be good, you made it sound really bad

 

ive never had a car damaged this bad before and i had no idea if it would be alrite in the end. i didnt know therefor i ask. thanks

 

Yep, based on your pics, I would say not totalled.

 

if it isnt your fault, hopeuflly the other guys insurance will cover it for you. if not thast what your insurance is there for. it sucks that your rates may go up but its better then having to spend a ton on body work. i see your from teh island, i know a great body shop that does amazing work if you're looking for a good shop. theyre quite expensive but they do amazing work, they take their timeand use all parts for the ones that are damaged.( i used them when i got into an accident with my car, cant tell the difference ) if you're interested PM me, ill give you their name and #. good luck with everyhting hope it turns out ok

 

it looks like its around 3 - 5k in damage thats worse case scenario

now if the roof/floor were buckled you'd be looking towards a new car

 

It needs at least the front door and possibly the rear door replaced. The rear door maybe can be skinned. It may also need a replacement of the door latch post. Repair will involve painting the entire right side as well. I would guess cost based on these photos as between 3 and 5k also.

 

if they total it, buy it back and send it to Ted

 

the door jambs are buckled a little...but i dont know if thats fixable. im hoping its not totaled, cuz i wouldnt get another car out of it from what i hear.
