Merging onto an onramp. Car in front stops real quick, I stop right behind her. Truck behind me isn't able to stop in time....annd the attached PDF shows the damage.

What says the forum, frame damage and a hopeful total?
I'm praying for as much here....

 

Sorry to hear about this. But yeah your done. That's a total. Hope your alright. That seems to be a pretty nasty back end hit.

 

Ahhhh That sucks! Looks like you got pretty hard, I hope you are alright. I would hope for frame damage and a total loss. Its been my experience that once a car is hit that bad, its never right again. I am sorry for you....

 

worst part is I just had a tint and corsa exhaust put on .

I'm fine (at least so far). I'm hoping for the total as well because of what has been voiced...car never feels quite right again.

 

oh and to boot the stock exhaust was still in the trunk! literally JUST had the corsa put on

 

wow that sucks bro- glad yor ok though. i would hope for a totalled as well goodluck man.

 

def totaled, anyone needs a 5.0 donar car? hope ur ok.

 

Those that think its totalled, can you say why? Do you think there's frame damage? (trying to tell if that one piece actually is)

 

Man very sorry to see this happen to you and your ride. Hope everthing works out the best.

Btw how much did you pay down on the loan? Did you have GAP?

 

thanks man, if they total it I'll be alright because I paid cash for it (or rather a trade in plus cash).

If they don't, this fight is going to get real annoying. Luckily my dealership can have the work done at a Ford dealership (sister dealership of where I bought it). so it should be like parts

 

So sorry to see that! That has got to be a total.

These cars stop fast - bad for the stang (and the guy driving the truck) but good for your health!

 

That looks awful, IMO totalled. Glad you're okay.

 

OUCH. Hope you are alright. Hopefully the car is totaled and you can get a new one.

 

did NONE of your airbags deploy?!!

 

nope. amazing isn't it? The truck that hit me was airbag free as well.

I do wish they had gone off from a finanicial perspective. Should have pushed it into a totalling zone.

 

Hopefully they total it for you, I think it'll be close, just a guess.

That'd make a great donor vehicle for a Factory Five build!

(I have no interest in Factory Five other than being a fan)

 

Ouch. Glad you're OK. Too bad for your car though.

I had a new 3 series BMW several cars ago that looked about like that and the ins. co. had it repaired. Frame rails on a unibody are stamped sheet and they'll cut the bent sections out and weld in new ones. If it was several years old - or a base V6 - I don't doubt they'd total it (repair exceeds value), but being so new, I don't know.

What ever happens, good luck.

 

Newer cars are usually totalled if repairs are at least 30-40% of new or replacement cost. I had a three month old ranger replaced by State Farm.

 

Another question for anyone that may have an opinion. Taking it to a dealership for the repairs, but they're associated with the insurance company (Progressive).
Is that a problem? I can't imagine it is, as I'd probably prefer a dealership doing the work anyways. Any opinion?

That's what I was afraid about keystone, guess we'll see...

 

It's a good thing you're okay, people aren't fixed as easily as cars. Look at this as an opportunity, maybe there was something you would've done different with this car, that you will do with your next one.
