I was at a stop sign waiting to turn right, WHAM!!!!!! Sounded like somebody was stomping on a HUGE bag of chips! A Dodge Ram Big Horn edition treated me like a Matador! I’m fine and so was the other driver. She claimed immediate responsibility and the insurance company called me within two hours to confirm they are in fact responsible. I had the clutch in and foot on the brake but was still knocked a few feet into the street. She was on the phone and said she didn’t see me because....direct quote...this ones good......“My trucks so big, I can barely see over the dash, and your car is so small.” Nobody here will be surprised but there was no damage to her truck not even the license plate frame.
How bad is it?? I really don’t want a sports car that’s been wrecked, any car really but specifically a sports car. I went out of my way to avoid ones that had been, even if it had a minor one I moved on. I’ve only had mine since January and have put almost 5K on it, it’s great!!
I’m concerned with two things, one is resale even though I'm not planning on selling anytime soon but now I’m screwed when I do. Two, I don’t feel a car that has been hit is ever 100% again. What are my options, to me there’s a lot of damage including what’s under the trunk carpet which runs atleast to both bolts in the trunk floor. I’m guessing not totaled? Any guesses on the amount to repair?
The alarm does not work now it just keep buzzing like it does if you don't close the doors or leave the trunk open. The trunk also won't latch or lock but it does stay "shut" I can just open it like a trashcan lid now
Pretty sure those two are directly related
Thanks
