Car accident with pics...
My car that just bought 14 days ago today was in a bad accident. I am pretty banged up to say the least. I am posting some pics to you guys for some thoughts on damage. I am thinking the may have to write her off. 2008 C230 Sport/Premium packages.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Good lord - hopefully you are not too banged up - what exactly happened?
That looks like a high hit - I suppose if it stayed away from the suspension it might be repairable. Being a 2008 though - it might be low enough in blue book value that it might be done in.
Did it get the A pillar/anything with the hinges on the door? Did any airbags blow? What about the windshield - any cracks (from impact or stress).

What happened was I was driving straight. Girl in an mdx just turned left and cut me off. No time to even put on brakes... im so angry and that car will never be the same.

2008. Estimated damage was $22,000. Total Loss is usually assessed if the cost of repair is more than 50% Current Market Value/Replacement Cost of vehicle. Current market was around $21K for a comparatively optioned car.

OP - your 08 is almost certainly totaled. Sucks to hear about that but as others have said, you're still here to tell the story! What were your injuries?

Thank you. I finally found that car and it was perfect... THese are hard to find where I am from and I doubt I will find another. I am very worried they will attempt to fix it and it will never be he same and pretty worthless if I ever sold it...
