So a couple days ago i had my sister start my car for me (baaaad mistake) and she ran it into the side of my dads big ass box truck. The frame is a little bent (maybe about an inch back?) and i need a new hood and fender. Ill be taking the 86 to get an estimate done on wednesday but i just wanted to know what the damages could cost me.

at a body shop 1000-2500 it more than likely to be totaled since the value of the car on kbb is lower than it cost to repair

My iphone doesnt let me upload pics to anythin. My dads insurance guy told him if the damages are over 3grand then theyll total it. I hope i get to keep it with a clean title. If not ill be in the market for a 86 or 93 lx vert or coupe. I text pics if you want though

If you get an estimate on it they will salvage it out guaranteed
They also decide by the value of the care compared to the damages that's probably why he said 3k because that's what the car would be roughly valued at.
I Definately would not get an estimate and would fix it myself
If the front subframe is bent and if it may need a radiator support u can get that done for around a grand

Do you guys think they only use kbb? Because i was looking on nadaguides.com and it said 4800 for low retail. I know its not kbb but it gives me a little idea of value

I could probably kick a dent on the side of a fox and it would be totalled because they are worthless in the general world.

Most likely will become salvaged. If that is the case, buy it back and part it. Or use towards another car.

Full coverage is 300 a month for me so i hada go with liability for 120. I dont even wana part it kuz its probaly not worth it. Ill probably just strip the motor tranny seats and get another but better
