No, the radiator isn't smashed, it sits further back and Lumina's are a dime a dozen around here. No engine damage, the car is driveable, it's just sheetmetal damage to the hood and the hood latch assembly and everything in that area.Any engine damage? I'd say the radiator is smashed pretty good, other than that, I wouldn't know. I would say they would have to completely replace the hood, and of course the light fixture. Not sure how rare the Lumina is, but it might be a pretty hefty fix.
A tree smashing in the cab on a 1999 Ford F-150 Pickup costs 5 grand to fix. Don't think yours will cost that much. Keep in mind, though, your insurance will go up regardless.
I say its fixable... If the insurance totals it, though, just get a salvage title and fix it yourself.
Well, the truck was merging into the left lane from the turning lane and I was merging from the right lane to the left lane. Mix that with me not paying attention and a little sun in my eyes.......Just gotta learn to pay attention the whole time.Following too close you were young Jedi?
If the damage is any where near $1500 or more, they will more than likely "total" the car. They are worth around 1600 - $1900 in average condition. Good luck.
