My car got fubared by an RV (now with pics)

So this has easily been the worst week of my entire life. My girlfriend and i parted was after dating 4 1/2 years and now my car is fucked. We broke up 2 days ago and the only thing keeping sane was my car. I got up every morning and just blasted music driving for hours with no direction in mind. Now i had went ot my friend's house and parked on the street. The woman in the RV has been driving for 15 hours straight and pushed the car about a foot when she hit it. I was not in it nor did i see it. The front bumper was torn off, the drivers fender is slammed under the hood and all twisted to shit, my drivers door is fucked and now is about 3/4 of an inch away from the fender where the gap is. Looking on the bright side though. I can hopefully get a full repaint and my car could use it and there appeared to be no structural or mechanical damage as of yet. Pics to follow soon

That sucks man, sorry to hear it. Glad you weren't in the car, at least!

Eh...could be worse. I saw in my crystal ball that you will be fired from your job in a week. If I were you, I would become a mountain man and hide in the forest where it's safe until further notice.

There never appears to be structural damage.

I doesn't seem totaled...If it is then i'm buying it back, stripping it, and selling the parts. Then I buy an SRT...

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say they'll total it.

Ok worst case scenario then. Let's add up the possible profits from parts:

Viper Seats: 400
LED Modern Tails: 125-150
SRT Hood: 200
SRT Wing: 50-100
SRT Cluster: 100
SRT Rear Bumper: 200-300

So with however much the car is worth and all these parts. I may be able to get into SRT territory. I bought the car for about 5300 and have about 1500-2000 into it, It has just about 75k on it. So maybe a hopeful $5k and then at best $1250 from those parts...I'm no where near SRT territory. FML

That look kinda easy to fix. Get a door, fender, and mirror from a junkyard and paint.

Good thing you were rocking a 2000 bumper. It would've sucked if the SRT bumper was installed on during the incident.

That's an 00 or 01 right?

If so you certainly will not get $5000 from the insurance company, try more like $3000 at best.

I don't know if they will total it, fucking sucks though man. I know exactly where you're coming from...obviously.

Hey I know it looks bad with the rims and the front bumper but that's not how it typically is. I put the 2000 bumper on it for the winter so my SRT one wouldn't get torn apart with the snow and all that. I had to hack it to fit and it turned out shitty because i don't have the proper tools. Take a look at how she usually is:

Oh yeah and Frank, it's an 03 so the above response should clarify that for you

They are all yours Chris if this is totaled, you have first pick on anything since you're local and a good guy to deal with.

Mopar65 · Post by **Mopar65** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 2:00 pm

Well the estimate is a little over $2700 and I get a rental fo free

To fix?

Grab another door, get it painted. Grab another fender, get it painted.

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 2:07 pm

Why would you do that when the other person's insurance is fixing it. Plus if there is hidden damage it can be repaired on the spot.

I wouldn't get involved in fixed that at all, let the shop do it.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 2:10 pm

I would imagine that for 2700 there is frame damage, Steven.

This

That is more than just cosmetic damage. It takes nothing to tweek a frame on a unibody.
