Any updates OP?
Any updates OP?
Sorry, I may have missed this detail. It is his insurance saying it is not totaled?
My car hit around $6/7k with a side swipe with no airbag deployment. I can't believe it's not totaled.
OP - glad you're ok. Seeing pictures of how "well" VWs (or most european cars) do in an accident make me stay loyal to them.
It's still being fixed as of right now. I'm assuming the work has been started. I have wanted to make a trip by the shop but I have just been way too busy.
I am filing through my insurance and the body shop they "recommended" estimated just a tad over $8k in damages. I am at about the 50% mark when I need to be at 70% for it to be totaled.
The repairs have begun...I think, and I'm still expecting there to be some previouslt un-estimated damage to my car.
I would be shocked if they didn't find more, whether or not that will be enough to total it...well I don't know.
I just have the feeling that the car will never be the same again. I get that insurance just wants to do whatever is cheapest, but I wish they would consider the bigger picture.
The car got hit dead in it's side at around 40mph. Sure it can be fixed, most anything can...but will the car ever be the same? Probably not...
Yes, I saw yours is a M/T. It was just my example. But a severe sidewise impact like that could have damaged/loosened/ mis-aligned other parts as well.
Got the call today.
They are not going to try to fix it.
I guess once they started getting into it it was just too much...
Going tomorrow to go get my plate.
