So recently I got into a accident with another vehicle, he was drinking and driving and T-boned my vehicle. Its my first car and I love this car and Im trying my best to see if its still repairable, but a lot of people say that it's more than likely totaled because the frame could be bent. I drove it a few feet up the driveway earlier the other day to see if the axle had been ruined and its still driving, but I'm just not to sure. Also seems like my brakes were also damaged because I have to press the breaks all the way to the back and my emergency break no longer comes up. I took a look underneath and noticed a wire that was broken so I assume that's what that's all about. I don't want another car and I may not even be able to get one because the person who hit me had no registration no insurance nothing and he tried to leave the scene. So I just wanted your thoughts. I took lots of pictures and also pictures of the inside of the hit wheel as well.

Being a 2008 I am going to have to say unfortunately looking at that car it is probably totaled. Just the amount of body work, rear suspension, air bag deployment and the year of the car is going to probably make it a total loss as far as the insurance company is concerned. My 2008 private party trade in value is around 5K. I hope I am wrong, but I think you are going to get close to that real quick. I can tell you from my two accidents the rear bumper cover (aftermarket, foam pad and paint) is about $700 bucks. Also got side swiped once, just paint and an aftermarket mirror came out to I think around $800, no body parts involved (tire basically scuffed the drivers side of my car). Other question is, do you have full coverage, or uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance? Hope everyone in your car was ok.

Ah sheesh man. Yes I have full coverage and right now I had to file a claim on my insurance so they should be picking the car up and taking it to vaden or Chevrolet to be look at. Also yep it was just me and my boyfriend I have to go to the chiropractor for a bit, but I should be fine.

Sideswipe done on my AC 2013 with fender and door dent and bumper + grill damage amounted to $4500... Yours looks very extensive compared to mine :( Hope you're alright and get it repaired!
