v6grandprixgt98 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Today at lunch some guy in a lexus pulled out in front of me and smacked me pretty good. Wheel is shoved into the well plus all the damage you see. I have a feeling the car will be totaled so I am in the market for a car. Heres a list of what I'm looking for. If only I didn't decide to go to tuttle mall to try and pre order smash bro's. Trans Am WS6 /w LS1 GTO /w LS1 or LS2 Subaru WRX 2002+ Cobra 97-03 Grand Prix GTP (I don't want 04+) Looking for under 60k miles and under $15,000 manual trans only on all but GP. Know of anything pass it may way. I don't want any heavily modified cars. http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3358/dscn2713lh7.jpg http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5913/dscn2715vc7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelloman4571647545499 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Dont count your chicken before they hatch. Thats not that bad. I see a lot of A/M parts being used to fix it. What year? What shop did you send it to? Hope it goes in your favor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v6grandprixgt98 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yeah it doesnt look that bad If it weren't for the wheel being jammed up in the against the wheel well I would feel much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Easy fix. I wouldnt have sent it to them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 That was like my accident. Same side, and everything. They totaled mine out, and it was a 96...was the engine moved over at all? I assume it was. but, best of all, you're ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I doubt that will be totalled. Glad you're okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Wheel being pushed is probably just a inner tie rod or something to that matter. Doesn't look that bad. How does under the hood look? Core support f'd up at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trjackson Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Glad to hear you are ok, good luck with the car and/or getting a new car! Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Buy it back and get that engine at the very least. I think it could be repaired fairly easily. I don't see heavy frame damage...I think the worst that would be needed is a new subframe, but it's not like you don't have access to those... Anyway, if worst comes, buy it back and part the motor. With the parts on there, you'll end up ahead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 That sucks. Buy it back at least to part it out if you don't want to fix it. It doesn't look that bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v6grandprixgt98 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Car is totaled. Good news is they will account for any work done to the car within the last year. Which happens to be the heads, cam, new engine, coilovers, new radiator, alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
