Thoughts on Repair? Such terrible luck...

[Caestus]

Thoughts on this being repaired? I was NOT at fault and I live in Florida. Someone hit me and cause this damage..

I have had terrible luck with Type Rs....

Daaaang! ? Hope everyone is okay.

That looks nasty, hope no major injuries for anyone.

As far as I can tell I was ok.... The driver who hit me (who was at fault) was responsive but taken to the hospital..... The officer said she should be ok which is good.

We shall see how I feel tomorrow

Dang. Sorry to see that Caestus.

Hard to say. The rear suspension on this car is pretty ordinary compared to the front, so those parts should be easily replaced, but the damage just in front of the wheel is in a difficult spot to repair. It might be totaled.

Glad you are ok.

Wow that sucks. Personally, I would hope they'd total it so you can buy a fresh 2021!

Glad your doing okay. Quite the damage there lol. Did he t-bone you or were you hit from behind? I honestly have never seen damage like that to more suspension than body lol.

Damage wise and suspension wise defs fixable. My concern would be a) what direction he hit you from b) how hard. You could defs be looking at frame damage in the form of it shifting from the hit. If that is the case I hope your insurance writes it off otherwise do your best to make sure they do.

Personal opinion - external body work and suspension/engine etc are fine to be repaired on this car nothing complicated by repair means. I would never ever trust a repaired frame on a car like this however.

That’s not so bad. That rear arm I think is like $125. In parts I think no more than $1-$2K (not including labor). The front knuckle is $400 (can’t really see damage but you should replace it) and lower damper fork is $295.

The most costly thing is going to be body shop stuff, needs the most labor hours.

Might be totaled by looking at the other stuff and not just the suspension stuff, the rear door and frame might be f'd. Glad you're ok

Yeah I see that now, door is done.

 

[Jes_si562]

I’ll says it totaled it has frame damage on the rear quarter panel

 

[NapalmEnema]

Looks bad but I'd be very optimistic! That's on the rear so not the front suspension / engine area. Fingers crossed for you bud but I feel good about this one

Thank you for all the positive support.

I was doing about 60 MPH (It may have been less) when they hit me from behind. They tried passing me on the right it seemed, clipped my rear bumper, shoved the wheel into the door. They veered off to the right avoiding all other cars only to veer back left completely out of control and smashed into the concrete wall on the left.

I was going South in I-95 last night. I suspect if I was doing 60 and they hit me with that much damage they were doing at least 80. They were weaving in and out of traffic behind me and I saw them weaving too.
