A Nissan decided to make a left turn into my Blazer today. Sigh... Insurance is saying they may total it since it's a 98. My poor brownie

 

That sucks man but not that much damage to be totaled!

 

That's what I think. New front clip and side panel (it's dented and pushed in) and maybe hood. Though I think they're gonna go by the fact that it's 14 yrs old with 145K mileage.

 

Man that would suck lets hope it isn't totaled!

 

Thats dumb blazers are so easy to find replacement parts for my uncle gets em all the time at the wreck yard he owns if they give you the option buy it back from em if its cheap enough or they may let you keep it they let me keep my geo metro when i hit a dog insurance totalled it out.. who knows tht sucks tht happened tho

 

Luckily the appraiser is a smarter man than I thought. $3300 in damage. Looks like I'll be in a rental for a few days or so. Very glad, didn't wanna get rid of her. (Or have a car payment)

 

Glad it wasn't totaled out. Kinda makes me worried about anything ever happening to my blazer...even though it is a '99 with only 96,085 miles or so...but still, it is 13 years old

 

$3300 IN DAMAGE?!?!?!? The shop would literally have to charge $1000 an hour for it to be that much. If you did it yourself it MAY cost $200 for parts. Thats just crazy..

 

If it were me, I'd love it if the insurance company totaled it out. Put $400 back into to fix it yourself and keep the rest of the cash. Or take the $3,300....put $400 back into it and take a vacation with the other $2,000!! It's a 14 year old vehicle...you could have had a down payment for a newer model!
