Default So this Just Happened

So my car was parked and this happened.

Wondering what the Collision Center will tell me. I Really like my GS and the way it drives hope its not salvaged. Is it even worth the repairs? what do u guys recommend? Whats a good quote amount for these types of repairs? dont wanna get jipped on cheap parts....

I would say it's total. The frame is probably bent and there is a lot deformation in the c pillar. Even if it wasn't total, it won't feel and drive the same.

I know the feeling all too well Honestly, I'd call it a loss. It'll just never look/feel right from here on out. I backed into a parking garage pole about a year back and basically destroyed my rear, left quarter panel. It was fixed nicely, but I can still see the difference. This is on a whole new level. Sorry this happened.

Definitely looks like there's frame damage.. Rear Axle looks deformed, so seems like total imo..

That's not going to rub out. That car is done, period. Time to start looking for a replacement because that one's going to the scrapyard. Sorry for your loss bud.
Even if someone would agree to fix it (and they won't) you do not want that car back. It will never be right again

My heart breaks for you dude . I can’t imagine losing my GS in such a way. So much love and attention placed into your car only to have it destroyed by some careless a-hole driver

I'm wondering how someone hit your car that hard while it was parked?

This may be a dumb question but it looks like a fire inside with the windows. Is that just the side curtain airbags blocking them?

How did a Nissan Versa do that kind of damage?
I didn't think they could drive that fast...let alone on a residential/city street that allows you to park on the street probably has a speed limit ~60km/h.

I don't think a Nissan Versa could have done that kind of damage. The rear end of the Versa is damaged. There may have been another vehicle that collided with Versa and into the GS.

She was driving and claimed to fall asleep, the accident happened around 7am, at the wheel. I think maybe she was texting but there’s no way to prove it. My car is gone. Very sad.
