wana see my car from accident [pics]






















Please tell me what you think?.. Totaled or Repaired?

See how my engine was not even touched, sorry for the rest of my car... front bumper and rear bumper are not repairable... it would need to be replaced.

the only visible damage i see is on the side, and since the engine's unscathed then perhaps it's still repairable althought it will be costly. what happened?

I would have to guess that it is totaled. I mean to make it straight again would be a feat. Good luck man!

Yah.. recently just snowed in MA, accident was not in the snow and snow tires was going on this weekend.

The accident was in rain not on a cold day so it was nowhere close to frozen.. but thanks all for caring!

Looks like most people are saying totaled but some are saying it could be repairable... well.. heres my point of view.

An insurance company is not going to total the car if it doesn't cost more than the value of the car..

The Kelley Blue Book suggested retail value is still 30K on the car because it has 17.5K miles on it.. now I don't think the cost to repair it will beat that, The insurance company is obviously going to go with a cheaper choice.. won't they?

Like I said this hasn't happen to me before so I'm not sure what's going on...

At this point I'm a little worried they will fix my car not because I don't want my car back but because I don't want to have a car that will never be the same again.. reliability, performance, and visual.

I precioused this car driving it hard as it wants daily but never over killing it, frequent maintanence, waxing the car every month or two, vacuuming it every week, detailing the interior, you see my rugs!!

I wouldn't be as mad if it got totaled and I could purchase the only thing better... an 05 MR.. sorry guys.. dislike the mivec.
