phhht you think thats bad. I just found out my estimate on my car was $8500 and its going to take a minimum of two weeks to fix. But the way I look at it, it could have been worse Smiley: wink

I dont take it as a flame. Its a haundai Elantra, and we bought it on an end of the year sale for $12,500. I think $2000 of that is including labor though :/

The whole world is against you, and this materialised in the shape of your car going tits up.

*comfort*

It'll be ok... just steal another car :D

If the last comment is towards me you missed the whole point. I was telling the OP that it could be worse, and that goes for me as well. Im unhappy, but I also know it could have been a lot worse and therefore Im not that upset

I'd be really suprised if the insurance company didn't just total the car. You might want to check the book value and see how much they'd be giving you, and check how much you still owe. If they will give you equal or more than what you still owe, you might want to push for that. Luckily it looks as though all the damage was to the body rather than to the mechanical side of things. But if it bent the frame it's a flip of the coin as to whether the thing will ever ride right again.
