I will explain the story of as to what happened. It snowed literally 4 inches over this past weekend. The temp never got hot enough for everything to melt. Last night it snowed (starting at about 7[ish]) then early this morning it turned to ice. Everything was coated with about 1/4 inch of ice on it.

She had asked what i thought about her driving back home where we used to live (about 2 hours away) I told her that i didn't think it was such a great idea and to just stay. So long about 11:30 today my mother calls and says she is excited to see my son later today. So i immediately call my wife and ask "WTF do you think you are doing..???" <blah blah blah> Told her that the same rules apply to the car as they do a candystore (You break it, You buy it). Aboust 12:30 my mother calls again and says my wife was wrecked the car.

She apparently hit a small patch of ice, underneath an overpass, the car fish tailed, she over-corrected and hit a concrete wall on just about every corner of the car. As you can tell from the pics, i have a few parts to replace, some body lines to fix, and the possibility of a new paint job.

So, just from looking at the damage that has been done from the impact here is a list of parts i am looking to replace:

Front Bumper (Gonna try for an LSE bumper)
New Side Marker Lenses (If no LSE bumper)
New Pass Headlight (possibly both)
New Driver / Passenger Front Quarter Panels
New Rear Bumper
New Pass Side Tails (Inner / Outer)

*the trunk is offset, as you can tell in the pics. Im hoping that maybe the bumper has it that way, so that i dont have to have the passenger rear quarter replaced.


FYI: If you ever look at a woman and think, "Dammit i would love to get with that!" Just remember, some man...some where...is tired of her Sh!t :mad:
 
In raw parts alone i estimate $1500.

Throw in paint and this is gonna be a good $2500 to fix. How much is your deductible??
 
HATE to see the car wrecked, but if the wife and kid are ok you gotta call it a win bro. For real.
 
Looks like you can change the passenger headlight bulb with no trouble at all now. See she did you a favor. WOW that's a lotta damage, good that the family is ok.

Not exactly sure on the deductible to be honest. I had rough estimated about 3K on everything depending on the paint and labor.


full coverage?

Yep, cant let a woman drive a car that isn't fully covered :)

COMPLETELY AGREE. That's about the only thing im actually not upset about. As far as the car goes...its just nuts / bolts / degas bottle :)

+1 on being safe..plus in the end you might get the full LSE swap!!!

Yeah...when i saw the car, that's almost immediately where my mind went...after the intial "Son of a b*tch...WTF ! "
 
Mine had some slight body damage when i bought it which is prolly why i got it for such a good price but nothing like that.

Just a deep gash in the front bumper and some scratches which i fixed up already.
 
I would take my losses and get an 06. Take the insurance check for repairs, and sell the car to a yard wrecked. Then put money towards at least a gen2. It will be worth it!
 
I got hit and only my rear bumper was damage. The shop gave the insurance about a 2000 dollar bill. I know they jack up the price but I say you're looking at more than 1500, 3000+ is more like it.

Andrizzle, i have thought about that once or twice today. The only problem is that there isn't many Ls' around here to be bought. I found one the other day. It was a Red color with Tan interior (PUKE). Oddly enough, one of the things that i love about my car, other than its an LS, is the color. Its not one of the "norms" that you see a dime a dozen of. I believe i have saw one maybe two on here, and one running around where i currently live. Im gonna attempt to have everything price with OEM equipment on it from the manufacturer (so that the price is a bit higher) then get the body guys to search there "inventory" lists for other than OEM equip.

Everything is still dependent on what the "Gekko" decides to do :)
 
Those must be cali prices cause a rear bumper collision runs nowhere near that much here.

Yeah those bastards are bad for :q:q:q:q like that. But hey, what can you do. I was really good friends with an awesome body shop guy back home...but since i have moved, i have lost most of my contacts...gonna search around to see what i can come up with.


FYI: to those keeping up with the thread...when i start asking for Part #'s i have already searched...just wanted to go ahead and put that out there. Gonna be looking for some of the LSE #'s. Still weighing options though...once again...depending on the "gekko"
 
Well let's put it this way... When I wrecked my LS I got a check for over 6 grand...

Bah, i still owe roughly $5,500 on the car. Hoping that it doesn't get totalled out...but IF so then it does. Then i finally get to do the ONLY type of shopping i truly enjoy...AUTO SHOPPING :)
 
Yea I was surprised @ the amount. But I got some sweet wheels out of the deal :D

Sometimes I wonder where I would be at if I had taken the check and not repaired the car, and just sold it...

But I love my LS too much :D

Well they added more than just a rear bumper. They added new sensors, new ones were blac instead of silver, I think they also said some other stuff in the bumper area was damaged, I dont remember the exact details. The guy's insurance paid for it so I didn't care what they charged the insurance company.
 
They will most likely total that car out ,i can almost guarantee it...I would say over $5000 in damage.I know it doesnt look like that but it will be.I bought a wrecked 02 lse and it was total out and it had half the damage of that...Heres some pics of the car when i got it...It had $7200 worth of damage.
