christ. did you not see that I said there were obviously more parts? get all defensive over me correcting you I see so you feel better by throwing out names of car parts?
cmon.
whats damaged has nothing to to with it being totaled or not. its the COST of the parts and said labor that will do it. If the parts are cheap or they write aftermarket then who knows. Rarely will a car get totaled out bc of structural damage (once a 7 series got totaled out by BMW bc the firewall or something near that was damaged and they wouldnt allow it to be fixed)
Yeah cuz what’s damaged has nothing to do with the cost it takes to fix what’s damaged… :bloated: what you just wrote doesn’t even make any sense.
Because strustural damage won’t affect the how the car responds if ever involved in another accident. Sounds safe, “we’ll just leave that all bent up and smooshed like that there.” And when structural damage is actually fixed properly that doesn’t take much labor… :bloated: :bloated:
I’m sure they are… at some back woods, cousin owned, not professionally trained employees shop in Batavia. But there a little more than that where I would take my car to get fixed. :fail:
that seems like a very lot of damage to a not expensive car. If i had to guess i’d say thats a good 10 grand in damage (assuming they dont use el-cheapo replacement parts). Airbag parts aren’t cheap. all front body panels need to be replaced, both head lights, driver fog light, im sure the washer bottle got destroyed if its in the front corner, radiator support and possibly a bracket for the radiator, i’m sure the driver fender was pushed back into the door fuckin that up, the windshield and possibly the A-pillar,air bags, who knows what kind of wires got pinched and brackets busted inside there, alignment , the driver “frame” looks kinda mangled in the front part.
with the car being that new i’d be willing to bet that it gets replaced with a new one
It depends on what parts they use, I would push them to use Ford OEM parts for the estimate since it is a new car. If it was older they would make you use keystone or used parts from junkyards.
I was always under the impression that you had to have gap coverage if you had a loan out on a car? I know my A4 had it, my GTO had it, and my GF’s Jetta had this coverage. This was when I had a loan on the vehicles in question. I thought financing companies made you take it as it is in their best interest as well as yours.
