Oh that is terrible! When oldest son hit a pole a couple of years ago the total was about the same. Luckily his insurance got it BUT a couple of months later the transmission went and that was another $2500.
That came out of his, and my, pocket, LOL!
Cars are dang expensive anymore!
I try to see how it may be a blessing in disguise. The car was pretty sound mechanically - but I had a feeling that I was going to have to put money into it after this harsh weather.
Overall, I’m just so happy that hubby was ok - even the airbag didn’t hurt him - he said the seatbelt locked and he was able to get his head back out of the way when the bag deployed. He was probably only going about 25 mph, but it must have smacked the “right” place. He actually drove it home!
We’re going to call We Buy Any Car to see if they will tender an offer. Otherwise, scrapping it.
