my mom says to write off the car but i dont think the damages are that extreme, the car only has 140 0000km on it
i do not believe that the rear axel is bent but if it is then ill most likely write the car off:(

...get an estimate from a professional shop and then match it against the redbook value of the car, and then make a decision.:dunno:

If you can't drive the car let them know and they will come to you.

might not be a write off candidate, but have someone check it out for you...looks like more than just an axle is damaged (control arm suspension, body?)...good luck man

did it sound like this?

"betcha can't make this turn"





by the way, so you don't get totally bent outta shape like your front end, I'm only messing with you. A lot of us have had some mishaps here and there in our early driving years. By the looks of it, it coulda been worse. At least it's something you can fix easy enough and you didn't mow down any peds, so it's all fair game. lesson learned I guess hey.

if you want to save your money, that is the worst thing you can do as a dieler would rape you up the anus...find a body shop that does good work but is still affordable enaugh...it would also help to look for used parts or a buy a wreck spare car to cut costs :thumbsup:
