Default A $11,600.00 wreck

This is what $11,600 worth a damage looks like. Rear ended by a kid not paying attention.

Ouch. It hurts to look at it. Glad you're ok and hope everything turns out ok with the repairs.

It's a good shop. The owner is a friend and he'll do it right.

But..... it'll always be a wrecked Z. It'll never be like it was the day it rolled out the factory.

Looks like $11,600 to me. That's a lot of damage behind the bumper.

I would have pushed for a salvage title! I am glad you did not suffer any major injuries. The frame will most likely need to be pulled and streched to get it straight. Otherwise, wheel alignment will never be right.

There is a lot of damage underneath too. I haven't seen the paperwork yet, but he told me the had to order right rear suspension parts too.

Also it damaged the exhaust...
