Look at the left tail light in regards to the right tail light. The trunk is undamaged and the left tail light is now 2-3 inches pushed forward.

The part of the car that the light is mounted to is considered "frame" since the car is a unibody.

There is definetly a lot more work than replacing that quarter panel.

 

If you found the guy that hit your car, can you file a report or whatever with the police for a hit and run? Or is there not enough substantial proof for a case to be even considered?

 

That happened to my car.. almost the same thing at it cost about 12k

 

Well now that you know who hit it... get his information and go through his insurance company.

 

damn that sucks. it will be a lot of damage. i know cause i had the same thing happen and found my rear bumper on the floor ftl.

mother day 2009

 

Thats Durham for ya! Sorry to hear that happened to you. Im in Raleigh.

 

sucks man, im dealing with a crash myself...

How did you find out it was him? Did he come clean, or he tried to deny it?

Good luck!

 

+1 how did you find him?

 

WTF are you smoking?

 

dame,that s***.yeah there is more than $4-600 damage..must be pretty hard to push it up the sidewalk..def some frame damage..good luck.hope you find the person that did it..

 

This is all speculation on my part as I'm the farthest thing from an expert, but I'm wondering if the airbag sensors are just beneath the actual frame and if it had been bent, 1-2 bags would have gone off. My sense is that you may only be looking at fairly expensive cosmetics as opposed to actual frame damage.

So sorry this happened... I would be livid and if he was my neighbor and had left no note, we'd have us a come to Moses meeting real pronto.

Good luck and please let us know what happened. since

 

thats some fu** up ........the other driver is a total idiot...cant drive.. sighss

 

Wow that sucks I guess welcome to NC is too late. Good luck.

 

He came to me when I was checking what happened to the car. He left a note as well, but i was raining, so the note was blushed. His insurance should cover everything, the body shop said either the insurance will call it total loss or low ball with cheap repair. The field inspector will come on monday or tuesday.

The airbag didn't come out, the weird thing is, even the alarm didn't go off.

what do you guys think? Should I repair it or total loss?

Added new pics of the damages.

 

unless you really really love this specific car for any reason, i would call it a total loss. They can repair it, but it will probably be cheap labor and if you have the choice, i would just get another G.
