Wow, that sucks. Sorry to hear and see this.
I am glad your daughter is fine though. That's most important.

Good luck going forward.

Lmk if you are ever looking to adopt! Lol

I have a spotless driving record, housebroken, and have a Bullitt to fill your current DHG void.

No doubt. Mr. I have 30 expensive cars. Wow. Need a 40-something son?

I'm just happy to read that your daughter is ok. That's what is important. You can buy another car.

Not that you need another car... ;)

The most important thing is that she’s okay. That’s a pretty crumpled front end but that’s what they’re made to do. A friend of mine went through a yellow the other day and the guy turned left in front of them and here’s the result. He’s OK too but he had to take some time off. All airbags went off including the sides. Burned his hand pretty good on the steering wheel airbag. This is a 2002 Acura. This is my friend who just picked up his 2021 F150.

Damn its official she is TOTALED

 

[MartyM]

Totaled is an insurance term. Insurers take into account their administrative costs as part of any repair. If I loved the car these are steps I'd follow:

• How much is the insurance company willing to pay for the loss?
• Search for comparable Bullitts for sale in terms of miles and no accidents in order to negotiate any large discrepancy.
• Ask if you can have a body shop you trust evaluate the repair.
• A bent frame although sometimes straightened may be a red flag.

You may have your Bullitt back without much of a hassle if a professional you trust thinks it's doable.

Other option is let them "total" it, then buy it back and have it fixed by a shop of your choice in the manner you prefer. A lot cheaper than buying another car and you won't care at all if it gets wrecked again, because, well, it'll have a salvage title anyway.

 

[IceAge]

Yes good points and I am looking into that. Concerns are did the engine get damage, and or transmission. Once they start tearing her down is there 5-10k surprise? Does the body shop fix her appearance wise but ride? It’s really a tuff decision being one part says let her go and other says try to salvage her. Still thinking about it.

This is all on the OP. 17 year old female has no business driving such a car. Nevertheless, good that she is alright.

That s a little rough. MAYBE you can be right but we don t know the experience of the driver here. Yes young drivers do make more mistakes and lack mature judgement in most cases. But dam, here goes this thread IMO.

I'm sorry but did you bother to read this thread? It is quite apparent that G's daughter is not your typical 17yo (whatever that is). She has experience both on and off road, two wheels and four. She is probably a better driver than than most of us were in our twenties. Yes, she may lack experience and yes, that might have contributed to the accident but we will never know for sure.

By the way checkout this young lady named Hallie Deegan. She is a professional NASCAR drive who started her career at the age of 17. Never judge a book by its cover.
