Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

So long story short doin like 10-15 and the truck in front of me stopped short. I looked to the left or something at that moment so when I looked in front of me he was stopped and I tried but it didnt work out, lol. Its was a damn Explorer so it just peeled the damn hood right back. What do you nogs think, totaled or not and if not about how much do you figure?

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

eh id say it isnt totalled but you never know...if its not worth much theyll just total it out

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

They will probably total it. My civic had a bent fender, ripped the corner off my bumper, messed up hood, and a broke headlight and they said anything over $1200 they would total it.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

what is the vehicle worth? http://www.kbb.com
doesn't look too bad too bad to fix...
but body shops will charge a bunch. labor and parts on:

• bumper
• fenders
• hood
• lights
• radiator support
• radiator

• condensor
• fans
• ??

If the car is a total loss, it would be a good buyback.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Did you have total coverage?

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Insurance may probably total it if its older with high miles...

Looks fixable in my opinion, as long as the alignment hasn't been whacked too much, looks like chopping the front end out and replacing it with a whole new clip, or maybe just cut out all that front support ---- and fab up a frame with bigger wheel wells

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

yea your fucked

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

I think about 2 buckets of bondo and that thing will look like new. 3 buckets if you want a sweet looking bumper. :6

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

yea id buy it back so long as its not twisted, looks like an easy fix for you to do on your own

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

is it really totaled, no, but it will cost more than the car is worth to fix





and 10-15mph wont do that much damage

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

yea like these guys are saying it is all on how much its worth and i believe if the estimate is 70% (newer vehicles) of the cars value it will be totalled im thinking its goin to be a total becuz you need a radiator support bumper and hood. and all the paint that goes into it. looks like 3000 worth to me.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

bumper looks straight i say get all the parts from the junk yard and fix it and sell it. :6

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

totaled, without a doubt. i towed for IAA and Copart auctions for a couple years, and there's been far less fucked up ---- of the same make/model/year that was totalled.

that being said, buy that fucker back.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

bumper cover. but can he weld and paint and do body work?

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

you dumb ----. if they total it and he buys it back, either he can do that himself or pay some :8 to do it with cash-money vato

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

I'd start unbolting ---- that's fucked up, then cut the radiator support off, and find another civic at a junk yard and cut the good ---- off if it and weld it in. Doesn't look TOO bad in my opinion, I mean your bumper and lower ---- is all fine.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

probably not going to total it. ------- insurance companies use aftermarket everything to fix ---- with nowadays. i definitely would buy it back. looks like you went under the explorer.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Yes I did. and I will be showing a little rental car love on a Chebby Silverado now.

Yeah it did. I hit a 2001 Explorer. his bumper was perfectly aligned with my hood and grill. I mean I hardly hit the brakes so it was pretty much 15 into a dead stop.

Yeah Kinda like that but I was only going fast enough to catch his bumper

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

At my you pull yard you could put it back together fairly cheap

bumper $60
fenders $40 per
hood 60
lights $40 per
radiator support $40
radiator $40
condensor $25
fans $30
=$415 &tax but the boss would probably break it down to $300

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

car will be totaled by insurance. Your choice to buy it back or it will go to auction.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

sell it to me for 100 bux ;D

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

It's funny you should say that because thats right about what we pay for cars like that at auction

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

that aint ---- mang, i bring cars back from the dead. your straight, like someone said, raid the junkyard, pull the fucked up parts, pay some shop just to align anything thats bent, and start putting it back together.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

I was thinking JB Weld, but I like your suggestion better.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Its demolition derby season up here in upstate, ny and i have seen some of the most mangled cars on earth yanked back into almost straight with like 50-70 feet of chain, a big sturdy tree and enough room to get going..that being said, go get some chain and straighten that rad support back out, thats thin stuff.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

You know that they will total that bitch. The cost of fixing your are exceeds more than the value I bet.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Condition Value

Excellent
$4,765
Good
$4,290
Fair
$3,700

so theres what its worth so sayith Kelly Blue Book. 119K on it interior is in good shape.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Insurance companies dont go off of blue book value.They use market value to determine its worth.Usually with hondas it favors to us when alot of people are asking insane money for swapped cars since it brings up market value.My dad got $2500 plus taxes for my old crx with 180k on the clock and the shell was in horrible shape.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

insurance company will consider it totaled, but its fixable and parts for that car are ------ cheap. i got a 97 hatch was in a crash about just as bad. but its fixed now.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up
 

Well you were right. apperantly market value is more than 5K cause they paid 4100 to fix it. bought a whole front clip from a bone yard and whippity bam. Yes the grill has black mesh in it but for some reason you can hardly see it in pictures. I gotta find my ------- hub caps now. anybody got some 99-00 hub caps for an ex? the 5 spoke jobbers?

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

Looks good... I never would have known you almost totalled that thing ;D

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

u did the radiator support and everything yourself? looks good.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

looks good did you do everything your self or pay someone to do it for you

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

oh hell no. i got a dealership to take care of it all. it was an insurance claim so I aint touching it. th8inking about gettin the rest of the car claybar'd and buffed to make the shine match a little better.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

whoaoo whats with the color match?? on the drivers side :S

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

Wow such a great idea. Who would have wanted to pocket $3k anyways..... ::)

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

Insurance will probably total it. ill give you 1500 for it.

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

Heeeeey is that silver Sentra parked in front a Spec V??

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

re-read that random, they already fixed it.

and Doug they needed to weld in a new rad support I do not have the means to weld. and in reality i found all the parts I would need but i would have only pocketed about 500-1k after i got all the ---- together. then I would have had to find the tools to do it with. i dont think the Harbor frieght flux is up to the task either. it was just easier and personaly I could careless if you think im a little less cool for it ::)

In the end I paid a small detucable and got a new car 4 weeks later. got the hook up on some fresh paint on the rockers and wiper arms. also got a sweet grill out of the deal and a spare bumper.

the color mismatch looks bad cause they didnt buff the rest of the car and it needs it bad. once the ass is shined up it will match better but I think a trained eye will still be able to see a difference. Im cool with that, its 10 years old lol. going to talk to them about detailing it today

Re: Is my shit totaled or just fucked up UPDATED W/ MINTY FRESHNESS
 

Na you could have found a shop to weld in the radiator support, picked up some new front end parts from the junkyard, install yourself, and then have a body shop paint it. Trust me I did the same thing.

You need to take it to a good body shop and have them put it on a frame machine BTW. When it was all said and done I ended up with a bent frame that the adjuster couldn't have just seen. Ended up forking over another $480 for that. Luckily I had pocked a nice amount of change anyways so no out of pocket from me.
