All,I am little relieved I found this forum!!!
I recently purchased a 2001 Infiniti QX4 and absolutely love it! I also recently almost totalled it! I have over 13k of damage. Mainly it is so expensive because all parts are going to be brand new Infiniti parts. However, I'm not concerned about the cost... I'm really concerned because they told me there is minor Unibody damage. It was a front right colision... meaning most of the damage is in the front... mainly around the front right headlamp. It did NOT get into the engine thank goodness! This whole unibody damage is scaring the heck out of me though. The shop I took it too apparently are frame experts. They have 3 machines with lasers and they said they can get it back to factory specs within less than millimeters. I've always been told that after a wreck the car will never be the same. Is this basically true? The shop acts like the car will be just as good as it was before the wreck. I'm concerned about regular mechanical problems after having the unibody damage. Does anybody have any experience with unibody damage?... doesn't have to be experience on a qx4... just in general.
I guess what I'm looking for is someone to calm my nerves and tell me it is possible to have fixed correctly if they know what they are doing. I have confidence in the shop I have it at as they are part of the Hendrick Auto Group.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
