Good to hear that you're OK. Just make sure that the next car is still a Lex.

That suxs how bad was her car? A crumpled tin can? Your right tho it would never be right after that even if it got all new parts a rebent frame a good respray she still might dog track and you would almost never get the door gaps right.

WOW... At least your ok C, could've been worst. From the looks of it there is probably more damage than you think. Just let the I.A. do his job and for your sake that they consider it a total loss.

What year is your 430? with all that unibody rear damage and navi unit taking a hit that thing may be close to being totalled ???

Cost of bumper, lights, trunk, quarter panels, paint realinging all doors? other misc items ?

I just ran across this post. Sorry to hear and see your car banged up like that. It is good to hear that you're OK.....that is what really matters. I have a black GS as well and just looking at your car hurt me......Good luck with the replacement. The M45 (the older one) was my first choice before test driving my 430.

Looks like a pretty bad crash, it definitely could've been worse...

not looking for a new gs yet, plus that has too many miles for me.

thanks, yeah shiznit is crazy right... not even from the bolts, like 1/4 inch steel ripped to shreds, not just on one side, but both sides (well 75% of the drivers side)

see quote above. technically she was legit because it was hands free, but still talking and driving is not brains free. bluetooth and driving does not mix for me either....

i wish her car was a tin can... she was driving an 07 rav4 and it took the hit pretty well. i dont even think she will need a new hood. i dont want a "straightened frame".... thats just problems down the road waiting to be had.

yeah man. im heading over to the body shop for them to check out the car and telling them to push for a total loss as there may be many untold stories under its tough shell.

thanks man.... if she was drunk, then she got what she deserved and i got the short end of the stick. but i dont think she was, just driving while stupid that's all...

All you can do is have some drinks and move on. A car is a car. Dont ever let it make you or break you.

Although it doesnt look nearly as bad as i imagined, it should still have to go on the frame straightening machine and that right there is like 3-4g's in damage alone. Good Luck. I hope its a total loss so you can start fresh. If not, give my/your guy a call and he will work with u.
