Think she is no more !

Some kind driver slammed into my rear !
He wasn't paying attention and was eating and hit me at 30mph. I wont get much from the insurance due to her age so will either need to scrap it or buy second hand parts from ebay.

Looking at the damage I will need:

Two new lights
Trunk lid + painting
Bumper + painting
Possible bent chasis

That's unfortunate. When you pull off the rear bumper, check for any deformations or buckling. If the chassis is bent, it's best to move on to something else

Looks good for a 30mph hit though!

Looks very similar to when mine was rear ended last year (though not even close to 30mph) Trunk, bumper, frame pulled was around $4500.00.

$4500.00 He'll be paying double for parts across the pond....He's located in Scotland, UK.
Dude, that's some bs, glad you're ok! That's like my greatest fear of getting rear ended.
