Sorry about your luck man but like everyone else said, you and the misses are ok and that's what it's important. I just went through this whole thing a couple months ago so I know what you're going through...

We're good now, more importantly he is but yeah, I have NO tolerance for that nonsense, not anymore. I understand it's a disease and that it convinces you you don't have it but I still believe choice is more powerful than that...

I'm glad we are both ok! As of right now it looks like its getting fixed not totaled and going to take 23 days or longer to fix. So I'm going to have withdrawals

Glad it's getting fixed. Maybe you were wanting for it to be totaled to get a new one? I Hope the drunk driver's insurance company is giving you a rental. Sure hope they fix it ASAP. Good luck!

They got me a rental which is a huge ordeal in itself.

But yes I was hoping it would be totaled as of right now I have to get a new rear bumper, quarter panel, everything on the door, new front fender and going to paint pretty much half the car. And they said they have to pretty going to have to get all new suspension and axle and stuff for the passenger side.

Hopefully you know someone with a good body shop or have a hook up at a gm dealer for parts.... you might end up withg some extra's when all is said and done...if it's not totalled...

After your car is fixed make sure you get a diminished value check for the damage.

Yikes! Good luck!

Smkn600CTD · 08-14-2013, 01:51 PM

Get it fixed and then trade.

That car will never be 100%....close but never 100%.

TheBandit18 · 08-14-2013, 02:15 PM

How do I go along doing the diminished value? Everyone I have talked to doesn't know much about it

1/4 repair ?, I don't think so. I believe that's serviced as a "uniside assembly".
If it was my car I would (1) Have the shop explain how they were going to section the 1/4, and
(2) also look for a used (LKQ) door assembly. Doors assembled at the factory are generally built
better than what the shop ends up with.
Also, around $10,000 IMO is a good START for those repairs.

I dont think oklahoma does diminished value

Sorry they are replacing that whole quarter panel not repairing it

Guys in my understanding you have to be in the seat for the airbags to go off. Just glad nobody was in the car.
