2007 Chevy Cobalt SS was hit broadside at 35 mph by a new chevy camaro.
Does it look like it will be totaled? Or is this damage easily repairable? The total value of the car in excellent condition is around $12,000.

 

probably be totalled man

 

I think its repairable, what happened?

 

Jesus..Camaro got fucked up. im not a auto body guy but i wouldnt see why that couldnt be repairable??

 

worst spot to be hit. at least its not frame damaged.

 

Its repairable

 

I had a hit like that on my 07 SS/NA but it was on the drivers side and about a 1/2 a foot further back. It was about $7,500 worth in damage. All in All in wasn't totaled for me, but every wreck is diff. It was repaired by a local chevy dealer. Hope everyone is Ok either way, GL with everything!

 

Most accidents are repairable, it just depends on if the cost of the repairs will outweight the value of the car, in this case most likely, but it really depends on how much underlying damage there is. The frame is most likely bent a lot, so it's more than likely totalled. Sorry bud

 

So you guys think this would be repairable? I assume the car is worth around $12,000 before the accident so the cost to repair would have to be around that same number in order for it to be totaled, am I correct?

I am only worried that the main body of the car near where the door latches is pushed in almost half a foot and it looks like the rear axle is also bent.
I know these things can be repaired but I guess it comes down to cost in the end.

 

theoretically yes, however, I assume the $12,000 is KBB value, which there's a 99% chance that your insurance company won't see it as being worth that much. Sad, but they almost always undervalue the car, saves them money that they have to pay you, and there's really not much you can do to argue with them.

 

I think a lot will depend on your states laws. In OK if the damage is greater than 50% of the vehicles value then it is totalled

 

Probably gonna total it. So you should give me the side skirts Seriously though it sucks but at least you weren't hurt

 

If theres no underlying damage or frame issues id say its reparable. From the pics it looks like a door skin and part of the quarter panel but its hard to tell from pics.

The way it looks in the pics maybe the rear axle geometry just might be comprimised as well. keep us posted.

Glad your ok though.

 

i say totaled. look at the back wheel compared to the front wheel. the rear wheel is sticking out sideways. i bet your frame is bent

 

This ...

I'd start looking to upgrade

 

thats very light damage for the camaro...only a bumper cover and couple extra parts

 

totalled, ss/na cannot be worth more than that damage

 

Your back right tire is low on pressure
Nah jk frame damage might be totalled.

 

looks like it should buff out

 

Depends on how much of the value of the car your insurance will repair.

My insurance will repair a car up until 75% of it's value, after that they total it.

 

why SS emblem in spot like '05 ss/sc?

 

usually an insurance company will total a vehicle when the repair cost reaches 70%-80% of it's value

 

well... report the damages? whats wrong? if its just body panels, you should be fine. easy repair. but idk... it looks like it is more than just body work

 

Totaled IMO

Door and quarter need to be replaced, Rear axle is out of place. The jamb is going to need to be reworked and can't tell from the pics, but is there any buckling in the roof?

 

Why can't this happen to me? :/
