hmm..hard to tell. Insurance companies are doing everything they can now a days so they dont have to fork out the money to pay a car off because of the way the economy is. but you have spoke of alot of damage. Needless to say everything else that is not visual that u dont know about. Its hard to say. the mileage is not to awful high for an 03 if anything thats what will save you. If it is totaled it looks like you have a pretty good part out. Or just keep the parts and buy another evo. Good luck man glad ur ok.

If the frame is bent it's totaled.....also if it flipped or the roof is damaged or a lil crushed it will be totalled.
At least that's been my understanding.
If not...I hope they fix it well man, GL.

Sounds like it will be close to a total. Hopefully you had endorsements for your mods, or you will get value for stock parts.

Did the airbags go? They are about 2500-3000 a pop!

Check your policy to see if they pay ACV or replacement cost if it gets totaled. You can buy your salvage back for like 500, then you can get those nice parts that aren't messed up for your next evo.

The airbags didnt even deploy there wasnt much bouncing around in the car more of spinning anround. The front right is pretty beat up and my car wasnt even blocking the left lane and this huge f***in truck decides to push my car sideways crushing it more and breaking a window, I that even allowed?? I was about to go up to the truck and rip the guy out of it. Im so heated right now

I hate to hear that

Did you get his plate, and were there any witnesses?

I would think if he did additional damage, it would be hard to prove, but if he hit your car even if he was intending to push it out of the way, he is responsible for the additional damage he did to it, if he left, I would think that technically it would be a hit and run, which in the extreme I believe is a felony (if there is personal injury).

If you got his plate, you could certainly tell your insurance company, and let them do their own investigation. At the very least this would let the truck driver know you disapproved of his action. At best your insurance company might be able to recoup some of their money by chasing his insurance.

Good luck

I didnt get his plate cause i wasnt even thinking when it happened i was just so mad but i do know that it was a HELP truck as ironic that is. But i did tell my insurance company that the truck broke the window and crushed the car more than it was.

ny evos are crashing like crazy. i think we got too many of them. btw, it sounds lik a write off, i had similar damage on my evo, and the cost of everything with paint was 19k. it also depends on your years(03-05evo) which are valued less, but parts are still expensive.
