Got rear ended yesterday, think it's totaled?

Hate to say it, but......... I think you are right. I'm at 300K now. If this were to happen to me, I'd probably assume that as well. Good luck. Someone vandalize my hood about a month ago and that cost the insurance about $1300. That was just to replace the hood and paint it. Nothing else. This is much more involved.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I was pretty sure but figured I'd see what you guys thought. Whelp now time to fight with insurance over it. Thanks for the reply!

my car got hit three times in the same quarter. Id find someone doing a part out and get the bumper, trunk lid and light. Bonus if you can find the same color. I'd wrap it or get a spray can made up at autozone to match the paint code. Also paintless dent removal might be able to pull it so all the lines are closer. Remember all the old heads saying the body will wear out before the motor/trans.

Might look into that if the frame damage isn't too bad, just sucks cuz I'm never gonna find another Civic in that condition in Maine again, she was a beaut. Came from down south and I bought it from the first owner, no rust, impeccable service record, runs like a top.

I would try to save it, keep fighting insurance!

Try to save it. My car got hit in the exact area but I slapped on a $200 painted bumper and it's been good. Thing is that mine wasn't jacked up as hard though.

Keep posting updates please, i'm curious as to what will insurance do.

I'll do my best, I will hear from the adjuster tomorrow, it's definitely jacked up though. It'll need a new trunk lid, new taillight, qtr panel fixed, and the trunk straightened out at the very least.

If it was a year old and had 10k miles it still would be totalled. The insurance company wouldn't even think about fixing that.

Its fixable, I've done two that were hit harder. But they will total it.

So I called the adjuster yesterday afternoon, they're accepting full liability obviously. Took it into town for the estimate, just waiting on the actual numbers but it's not looking good. The guy doing the estimate did the estimate for the other party as well and they have >$10k in damages on a 2016 Buick LaCrosse. I'll keep you guys posted but I've cleaned out the car, just waiing for the inevitable.

So what is the insurance going to pay you (how much is your Civic worth)?

Not yet, the adjuster was out today, I assume I'll hear from him in the morning.

Depends. My subframe got bent in and all passenger rear suspension needed to be replaced. It was 1600 to get that all done. If I went though insurance it would’ve been totaled and maybe I’d get like 1k from them, with full coverage

Damn. Sorry man that sucks. My quarter panel is crushed and I was thinking about fixing it but it might be too expensive.

Yeah, rear quarter panels can be costly since there is no break off point like the front fenders. I think they basically cut into the rear and buy a speperate peice (new and cut where they made the other cuts... it that makes sense haha. And line that up, weld, sand/prime and paint... can add up.
