So some moron in his parents Range Rover decided it was more important to talk on his cell while he was driving instead of paying attention to the road.... He runs a red light, and T-bones me at about 45-50 mph. I am so ____ed.... The tC was my first new car off the lot, and now it's in shambles. The worst part is that my insurance won't total it, and I have frame damage! How bad will my car drive after they fix it. The body shop where my car is at claims that they do quality work etc., and that they have the tools to get everything up and running. My left front quarter panel is destroyed, as well as the left front suspension, a-pillar, and front of the drivers side door. Is it worth it to keep that car, or should I sell it asap???

 

A wrecked car never drives the same, it's a common "thing", also the psychological part of the problem is you will always see the crash, and think it will not perform the same. I don't really know what u should do, but this happened to me before. Feel your loss.

 

wow if i were you i would fight with your insurance company and get them to total it

 

How much is the repair estimate? You have the right to take it to any shop you want. Get a couple of estimates from some really expensive shops. Then tell the insurance company to fix it or total it. Then you will have to fight for what its worth. How about any pain, suffering, or loss of wages etc??? The idiots insurance should be taking care of that.........

 

damn, sombody would have had a beat down

 

any pics?

 

Pics?? That sux that they won't total it out!!

 

My insurance didn't total my car out as well. As far as if they can repair it to like it was before depends on the shop. After I got my car back I let my friend drive my car (who also has a tc) to see if he can notice anything wrong or unusual. He said it seems fine! Otherwise a trade would of been a must.

 

Also are you really in Bohemia?

 

and pics please, its a lot easier to give an opinion when we can see how bad it is...

 

I hope they throw the book at that ranger rover driver.

 

That sucks. What part of the Bay Area are you from?

 

you mean they wont total that??
that is bull crap...i would make sure i get every penny out of the one guy who hit you man.!

 

Take it to court!

 

I am a little confused here, i thought the other guy is at fault, so it's his insurance that should pick up the tab here...

 

Wait!!! Now I'm confused! ^^^I didn't remember that...
Now...em...okay...em... But if you have an insurance they should cover part of your loses too, no?

 

Take a hammer to your car until it is deemed 'totalled.'

But in seriousness, down with SUVs and phone losers! I hope you get it all straightened out, literally and figuratively.

 

I, like others, am wondering why the kid's/kid's parents don't have to pay for the repairs with their insurance. If the kid is at fault, his insurance pays.

 

Agreed. Simple someone hits you, its their fault for damaging your property...

 

hope you get this straightened out in your favor ...
