Okay, there is a very lengthy and heart breaking story behind this, but i will save you all the trouble and just give the basics.
I got my 2003 Acura RSX-S on the 24th from a guy who had spent 5 years of his life doing everything from dropping it, to the airbox mod and other external engine work, to new brakes and new rims, and even to doing every single oil change and small maintenance or upgrade himself. I got it for 11,000, although it was valued as high as 12000 or 12500. Now here is the bad part. On the 25th (the day after i bought my dream car) i got rear ended by an F150 while i was stopped to turn (with my signals on and everything) and he was doing about 30 mph.
So, that is the wreck (and luckily everyone is ok). My worry at first was "Oh crap this will take forever to fix," but now i am more and more worried that the appraiser from Dumb*** insurance company will say it is totaled. I have been asking around, but although many people in my family know lots about cars, their expertise is in street rods, so the way things are built now is a bit different to say the least.
I have hoped maybe i could find some fairly professional advice from you guys, so i will post the pics of before and after the wreck, hoping for some more insight into what i should expect. Thanks a lot for the help, and sorry once again that this had to be my first post here, but granted i didnt have much time as an RSX owner to build up posts.
Before:
After:
Just FYI it is perfectly drivable （i actually drove it home from the accident site), no drive train / engine / electronic damage whatsoever. Even the part of the right rear taillight still works.
So any information at all would be great, thanks.
