Re: Urgent question accident

Well for one thing, ur car is far from totaled, totaled would be rear-ending a Ford Windstar or wrapping ur accord around a light pole. Ur front bumper being cracked and scraped is no big deal (unless u forgot to mention being permanently detached or something). So ur only concerns r ur rim, ur front axle, and airbags. Did ur window break or is it intact?

the window didnt break. i just hit a curb...
i hear people say that the main thing that seperates total from not total is the airbag cost.

Re: Urgent question accident

1 no but airbags are expensive so insurance might be pricks
2 yes
3 no
4 yes
5 yes (btw how do you bend an axle with 2 cv joints on it? lol)
6 let dealer do axle and airbags
7 let body shop do the body work. it is their specialty
8 you would have to check kbb.com for the book value of the car

thanks. we'll i'm not sure about the damage.. your probably right because if you cant see in the pictures the wheel is rubbing with the frame. the cop said that the axle may be bent so i was taking his word..

luckily the windows were down when i crashed. rolled them back up and its good.

Re: Urgent question accident

I can barely see anything in the pictures. Whether it fixes or not depends on how much its worth and how much it'll cost to fix the damage.

Not necessarily. Could take a low hard hit to either side, ruin the fender, bumper, headlight, and bend the frame horn, rad supt, and condensor/radiator. Ins company will buy a clip minus the other fender/hood and fix it.
