Ok, so if you did not have insurance, that would mean that the car was paid off. If you are driving a $20k+ freaking car, why would you not have full coverage?!

ouch! That axle man... I just had my axle fixed, bumper replaces and fender fixed and it came out to $9,000. Unless you know someone who will hook you up, it is going to be more than 10 thousand easy.

BS, depends on your sense of humour, death is hilarious, especially when someone does something stupid to cause it.

You got screwed then. It takes a hell of a lot of damage to cost $8000 in repair. For a rear hit you sould have to have a rear clip, total paint job, and working random parts of the body.

Not if you take the time to prepare. The Z is "OK" in snow with a set of snow tires. If he would have just spent $1K on a Set of Tires and Winter Wheels, This would not have happened.

It was more a case of not being prepared, no insurance, no snow tires.

you shouldnt have driven without full coverage, you drive your car wherever and whenever you want, the Z drives fine in the snow if you creep, these idiots who wreck their Z in the snow cant drive properly, your mistake here was not having full coverage 1 and 2 obviously misdriving a RWD car in snow.

BTW How much for the whole car 7-8k ?? (I've seen an 06 Base with minor front end damage for 10k - no mechanical issues whatsover, just some bodywork)
Once again, thanks very much for you guys helps and opinions.
Well, I am thinking to sell the car without repairing it. Do you guys know who I can sell it to? Or if anyone is interested, just let me know. Thank you very much.
BTY, the engine and the interior of the car are not demaged and the car is less then 17 miles. Thank you for your help!

I would say you could sell it for $12K AS-Is to someone here on the Forum. Create a New Post with DETAILED pictures in the For Sale Section.

from the looks of i'd fix it, you can easily find a front and rear bumper on the forums, probably even fenders... i saw a shop in florida selling some in classified i think, i think a saw a door too, or you can go to a junk yard and get the rear axle and suspension parts and the body parts you need

all in all i don't think the cost is going to be much if you put in the work, car-parts.com is your friend, the hardest thing to do is probably find a shop that does decent work for a decent price

You know, We should have a "Help a Member Out" Thread for this Guy. Stupid mistake or Not, Perhaps if he purchased the parts needed, a bunch of us to meet up in Indiana and Donate a little bit of our time to help him put it back together.
