Pics of my wrecked '95 Z inside...

The car is worth about 4-4.5k. Will it be totalled?

when i saw the first pic i didnt think so...but then i saw wrinkled quarter panels....so uhhh its not lookin to good there bud

you have what is called a "drivable total"......obviously it can be fixed but i just think that your insureance company wont fix it..

Doesnt mean you cant buy it back and repair it though...

That damage right there, sort of similar to your rear damage cost $4500 to repair at a local dealer owned bodyshop, insurance paid. Based on the pics, if your car is worth $4500, I think they will total it.

SteveO, i'm not sure how the unibody/subframe looks. If it is still straight, it might not be totalled...and that would frankly suck.

Use the insurance money to buy another f-body. The Uni-body will never be right again if you get it fixed.

If they do total it, show them receipts for all the aftermarket parts you put on so you get extra money.

I'm sure that's what it will depend on, if the unibody is ok, then it will most likely be fixed.

Oh, and I have $3k+ in reciepts for parts/labor on this car over the last 10 months.

Dang Man, Sorry to tell you this, But the front and back? And that wrinkled quater panel, The damage on that is extremely past 4500. That is insane damage. The only thing good is some doors and the roof and maybe a fender or two. Sorry to say, But that thing is a goner!

Yeah and it looks a good bit worse in person. The pics don't quite do it justice. Oh well, if it is totalled, between what the car is worth and all the reciepts I should have a pretty fat check for a downpayment on an LS1.

My expertise says you've got over 8k in damage there. My ex-gf did over 7k to my car... http://jeffsgarage.cjb.net/camaro.html

Buyback for her was $500... good deal

they will total it out, but you need to just buy it back. They will probably charge only about 500-1000. Then part it out, get a new car and have extra money.
