So yesterday was a sad day

[TheDavey]

So I don't know if anyone else has had this sad experience. But didn't know if their cars were considered a total loss or not. Haven't even had her a year yet. Thankfully the girlfriend who was driving was okay. But I don't know if they can make this thing new again for a reasonable cost. Curious if anyone else has had a bad day and how it turned out for you.

How'd it happen? Hope everyone is ok!

How'd it happen? Hope everyone is ok!

Girlfriend took it to work. Drives due east to get there. Sun blinded her and she didn't see a light with a quick yellow go from green to red doing 45mph before it was too late. A chevy 2500 started making its turn and she slammed into his front wheel. Knocked it clean off its axle. And everyone was fine. She has minor injuries and is sore. But she didn't get anything serious. Cars can be replaced she can't.

Looks totaled, yeah I would call it a bad day for your car but a good day for the friend.

Very unfortunate but glad she is okay. Cars can be replaced but lives can't.

Hm... Some frame damage and looks like air bags deployed.. Probably a total loss. At least she's relatively alright. Make sure she still feels okay a few days later. Sometimes the injuries pop up days after the accident.

Glad everyone involved could walk away. Cars are replaceable but it sure does put a kink in life when "life" happens. If it was me, I'd be trying to take off small parts here and there before the insurance takes it away lol But on a serious note, Hope your Girlfriend is doing ok!

Sorry to hear. Looks like your airbags got deployed so there's a high likelihood it will be totaled. Glad to hear everyone is alright, just roll it up and get the same thing but a 2017

Glad to hear she's okay.

I had a few "bad days" the beauty of working in Brampton. That was almost 10 years ago but what I really hate about accidents is that the victim, wasn't at fault is that we get screwed twice especially when it isn't considered totaled.

The value goes down, so years later I get screwed on the trade-in. I get that selling privately but that's besides the point.

OP will you get another CIVICX? Changes in model, trim, etc.?

I am so sorry to hear about this. Same damage happened to me, and it was totaled. The airbag gave me a burn. I had not had it a year either. I was a mental wreck for the next few days. Take good care of your girlfriend. Accidents like this can be extremely traumatic.

Glad to hear everyone is OK.

My sister totaled her '14 Civic sedan a year ago. She was hit head on, spun her car 180 degrees, and she ended up 4 car lengths from where she was. She walked away from the accident with just some very minor whiplash. She bought a '16 Civic sedan to replace it.

All those people who say Hondas have no structural integrity, especially a Civic, because they are so light and compact, don't know what they are talking about. That "structural integrity" may have saved my sister's life, if not prevented her from having any serious injuries.

Definitely looks like your insurance is going to consider it a total loss. You should get a good payment out of it though. Just remember to salvage as much as you can before they take it. lol

 

[dblshock]

sounds like she's not at fault.

 

[kvnhmmd]

Think you'll invest in a sensing model when you buy your next car?

 

[pwschuh]

I'm guessing that that is not totaled. What did the insurance company decide?
