Default Please help bent frame... How much to fix

I was driving home from school and I was sitting at a red light. I got rear ended by some lady going 45mph. From what I saw I think the frame is bent. Where he hitch is got pushed in and is all twisted and the two left doors do not shut right, you can see in the gap when you shut them. Some guesses on a price would be helpful thank you.

No way to give you an estimate over the internet.
I'm sure you plan to take it to a body shop for a proper inspection/estimate. It sounds like you will not have to pay anyway.

I would guess it would be somewhere around the $50k area.

In all seriousness, just like ronjenx said there is no way to tell over the internet.

They may be able to fix the bend, I had a frame that was off by 2-3" and the body shop fixed it. Usually a "total loss" occurs at 75% cost to fix of the vehicle's value. Mine scraped by with a repair cost of $9k.


Again (as mentioned above)- you won't pay unless you were at fault, so it doesn't matter what it costs nor will anyone over the internet be able to put a number on it. You're better off putting numbers on a dart board and putting our names on the darts and throwing them at the wall.

I had a frame replaced when it was unable to be repaired. Never know what the insurance company will want to do.

Since you were not at fault, the other driver will be the one paying.

Just wondering Both vehicles were insured, right? Other driver must have stuck around because their car was toasted tail ending at 45.
