She may be Totaled

[Dpro]

So ya A dumb girl tried to cross my lane when she was exiting a Chevron around the corner from my home. I literally swerved to avoid hitting her and she turned into me . Ya it sucks passenger rear door has like a 3-4 inch gap between the roof and the door frame . B pillar is crushed . We will see . I already filed the info with insurance even though it was 3:45 in the morning here.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you are ok.

 

[Jabbit]

[Capri to ST]

That hurts, sorry to hear this, good luck and I hope that the car is fixable.

Ya no I was thinking about changing the color but that was by doing a wrap…not bodywork and a repaint. jokes aside the damage is pretty extensive. When I limped the car home my no hill assist light was on. So there is most likely wire harness damage in the B pillar. I am going to take more pics today that was quick shot this morning . I literally did a 180 after she hit me. I was just like ok she just killed the car. Volkswagen Tiguan of all things.

most likely I just took some more and edited them for better clarity

 

[rallytaff]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[dhminer]

Ouch. Glad you’re ok. Hope that Tiguan driver has good insurance!

 

[FiestaSTdude]

No! That sucks! Hopefully it’s fixable!

Fixable I think so, totaled? Quite possibly the color is a 7k paint job aftermarket alone as the whole car is gonna need to be resprayed blending water based tri color is pretty much impossible.

If the structure of the center B-pillar is good than a new set of doors could make this an easier fix. If they have to frame machine the side of the car, insurance might not want to sign-off on the liability of the fix. Granted it's not the front or rear ring of the chassis, but that opens a whole can of "what-if" that I'm sure it's easier to simply cut a check for.

I'll take the Mountune intercoler for 250 bucks.

 

[Jabbit]

How many miles on it? Buy it back and do a swap.

if you look at the picture there is damage to the pillar and yes if it’s on the outer side of the b pillar thats ripped up it’s not hard to repair like you said. The question does it have to racked and does it..
the car have enough value to warrant racking and or the liability side of racking it. Now here is another some of you may not have considered .

I know this because I was lightly tapped in the rear before and it ripped the bumper cover mount tab and the whole cover needed to be replace. How much do you think that job cost? 4k! Why because Fords Tri Color Metallics are super expensive 3 stage jobs in the aftermarket these days. My whole will need to be repainted it cannot be color section matched. So we are looking most likely a close to 10k paint job for the whole car outside of labor to replace and repair ostuff. So I will send pics tomorrow to my body while I wait for the insurance to appraise ithe damage and decide. Car has 26k mileage.

Very sorry to see this.
I agree it does look like it may be totaled.
Make sure you provide all the receipts you have for all the mods you have done as you can be reimbursed.

 

[New_Daily]

Fuuuuuuck dude!!! So sorry to see / hear! Sucks ass. Glad you’re ok.

But I am a craven opportunist if nothing else, so if its totaled and you decide to sell stuff off……you know I’ll make the drive down in a heartbeat 😜😜

 

[Dialcaliper]

That definitely sucks. Good luck with the insurance - hopefully a body shop can save the pillar and replace the doors. If not you can always buy it back as a salvage title
