I was about to point out that that's not the passenger side...

 

Ouch dude.... Time for a body kit!

 

I would have them weld a new quarter panel in instead of having them fix it with bondo.

 

Hmmmm....interesting. Wondering how fast you were going while making a left turn that would result in that kind of damage, and the airbags deploying. Most of our tires have very little grip in the cold weather.

 

well i wasn't going fast at all, i was only in 1st gear.. i went and looked at another Z already because the insurance adjuster hasn't went to look at my car yet to declare it as totalled.. its a 2003 26,000 original miles, clean title, 6-speed of course, its very clean, i went and drove it, shes asking 14,000 heres some pics tell me what you guys think

 

from the pics that you showed it definitely doesnt look totalled..I work at a body shop in long island in huntington to be exact pm me if you need any help!

 

ouch, good thing its just a car.. why didnt you 180 out of there all smashed up and rock and roll him, i woulda chased him n smashed into him.. thats just me tho i handle things my own way

 

See you in jail.

 

my car isnt driveable at all, trust me i would have chased after him to at least get a plate ya know.... both pass side tries are turned oppisite ways then they should be like if the wheel is straight, the front tire is pointed out and the rear is pointed in, its fcuked up i wish i took more pics

 

Wow. Sorry to see your Z all messed up like that. Hopefully, things work out in your favor and you can get a new Z. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that man. Wasnt there any paint left on you bumper from where he hit you?

 

isn't it a fact that we eat like 2-6 spiders a year while we sleep?

 

^^ive heard that too. cuz its warm in there so they crawl in then you eat em.

 

I've heard something like that. How would you like to wake up to that, though? And how about a whole handful of them... that's what I had in mind.

 

HAHA!! all i can say is after that movie ARACHNOPHOBIA i cant sit on the Throne with out inspecting the area 1st! haha

 

From the looks of it, I doubt it's totalled, but it's a very costly fix for sure. GL to you and keep us updated.

 

sucks for you

Glad you are ok and sorry abt the Z. Personally it sounds and looks decently bad - I would imagine the insurance company will declare the car a total loss as the body work if done properly with genuine Nissan parts will be likely well over $7K. And if its a 2003 with higher mileage it wouldn't make sense for them to pay out that much to have it repaired and deal with the hassles etc. Plus if it happened to me I wouldn't want a repaired car that's been in such an accident. It's not just a parking lot accident.

But concerning the 2003 with 26K miles you have seen for sale at $14k - its pretty cool. That brick color is growing on me, classy and different. And a big plus if it were owned by a woman who put so little miles on it. I'd say if the insurance company does total your damaged car I would definately consider this car.

If the insurance company does total your car - ask them if they will give you an option to purchase the car back for a minimal price. Some insurance companies will allow the owner to buy the car back from them at a small fraction of what an undamaged car is worth instead of having to be stuck with the wrecked car and then having to deal with trying to sell it at a insurance auction. If they will sell it to you say for couple of grand let me know as I would be interested in purchasing the wrecked Z from you after you purchase it from the insurance company. You name your price and I will let you know if I am interested as I wouldn't mind having a parts car. My seats, steering wheel, carpets, and other parts are kinda worn.

Thanks and good luck.
