Sooo i crashed my Car make a long story short driving down a hill some kid in front of me braked for no reason i rear ended him he had about 5 scratches on his back bumper n my car got pretty messed up some of my friends also say mayb is cuz my car is so low or because i was going downhill but watever it is wat it is my question is how bad do you guys think the damage is? i have full coverage and all and waiting for adjuster to come to my shop couple things that worry my is that my car is barely worth 4500 at most trade in value i have 88,000 miles on it and also with all the body damage my radiator broke and so did the AC how much do you guys think i have worth of damage i'm not to familiar with this since my first accident but im hoping and pretty sure Geico can't say this is a total loss right? thanks for the help guy's and here are pic and also airbags did not deploy i wasnt going fast at all i dnt even know how my car got so messed up

P.S- tried to keep it short didnt work sorry lol

Not too bad looking. Anything leaking? Did you damage your intercooler? If nothings wrong with how it runs then get a new body kit and carbon fiber hood You can usually ask for the check and get your own parts Looks like a new body kit and hood to me

speed corps? With a aftermarket bumper you could probably bump it up too

Im sorry to hear that man :-( mine was covered, a lady smashed my car bent the control arm like 90* smashed the fender, a ding in the door, broke my mirror off, broke the lower control arm, RH trans axle, RH hub& bearing, broke my strut, broke front bumper, and side skirt. I had 142k on my car at time of accedent and i have minimal coverage, it wasnt my fault, but still i was worried they were just going to give me a check for the car, they spent alot of money in parts and labor, paint etc on it, im so happy they didnt total it :-) You should be ok bro!

Crappy to hear man. Ya they will not total it out bro it looks mainly cosmetic to me. Keep in mind also they will not gie you anything extra for anything aftermarket without receipts if they did total it out.

Couldn't you buy it back for cheap? If so, buy it back, and get a body kit for it?

He can buy it back for whatever the highest bidding junkyard is willing to offer his insurance company for it.

Hrmm.. took the car for a short spin up to autozone (to dump off some oil)
I passed an accident, didnt involve any lancers, but all 4 the cops standing in the street were lik.. 'wtf just passed us' 'was that a blow off valve i heard' ' i didnt know u could spin ur tires in 3rd'

Back on topic.. Sorry about ur lancer. but a new hood, and front bumper (edit: and radiotor) n she'll be good as new! Or... strip it, gut it, put a bigger turbo on it and get a custom 1 piece front end made and go for 8s pass!
