My car met in accident on december 15.. Btw, the accident is not my fault, its a saga from opposite lane hitting down the lamp post and the lamp post fell on my car FYI, i m driving 80 only tat time :stupid::stupid:.. the question is, should i total lost it?

Spent RM10k on bodykits and facelift

Total loss = Claim RM20k +/-

The chassis frame seems ok, alignment wont lari... if you love the car then fix it, if you wanna change car then total it...

 

[zephyrus]

what do you mean by chasis frame? btw, the pillar is totally crushed..

 

[zac]

Although the pillar is crushed but it wont affect badly on your chassis, chassis is the structure of your car bottom part, different car will have different design but there will be a designed frame mostly like "H" which is the main structure of so called bone of the car, if it's hit directly then it will out of shape, even though skillful technician can re-shape it but the "strength"(check physic book for iron peculiarity) will be gone and the car will have incurable alignment issue. I totaled mine last time cos it's flew and landed on divider, "I" became "<"... lol

whatever you do.....don't cut the roof pillars (replace whole roof).....coz you wont be able to sell the car afterward....Puspakom check sure kantoi (except if you kautim/rasuah).
