ummm.... anything over 8k in damage to ANY cobalt will total it.


on the lower models as litttle as 3k on an LS 2.2 will total that.


i will bet money the thing is officially a junker. so does the owner lol

hopefully the op gets something decent or at least equal in value from your insurance company.

also. speaking from someone who had ALLOT of damage repaired on there cobalt, its never the same car.

^ i was gonna say, you prob dont want the car back.

go get another one! or hold off for the Regal GS. either way, good luck, hope it works out for ya!

sarcasam. you needs to senses it :twothumbs.

That sucks dude.
Glad you're ok.

dude, that sucks alot. where did it happen? blaine? i know your fine, but how badly did you mess up the kid that hit your car?

isnt that the 4th time that jesse's rx-8 has had a bumper messed up? lol.

It looks totaled to me. Probably 11-12K in damage.

if its more than 1/3rd what the cars worth they tend to total it. sorry to say but i think youre sol on the balt. might as well buy a mustang like everyone else is :P

Na I heard 80%. The damage on mine is more than 4k, and my car isn't worth 12k.

It depends on your insurance comapny. they all have differnt policies and procedures

But a third? That's just ridiculous.

$10,230.00 in damage and they're fixing it. :) I'm so freakin happy. Won't be the same I know, but I get my car back... My car was valued at 20k and I needed 80% of the value in damage to total it. Can't wait to go to court now... I was hit really hard so I was not following too closely... Look at the damage and you tell me what you think? I was in control of my car completely until I got hit. My seat reclined and I could not reach the wheel to avoid the RX8...

if that was the case, almost every fender bender would be a total.

your seat reclined when he hit you?
generally if you get pushed into someone up here, the car infront of you is your fault, good luck though

x2!!

Exactly.

sorry to hear. Best of luck! Is your neck and back feeling good? ;)

We'll see how well the body shop does at repairing it. Its supposedly just sheet metal damage.

Did they say when it should be done??

At least you didn't have to wait a week and a half for them to just assess the damage.

listen to me closely. not trying to be a dick or anything. although i do have a few drinks in me.


before ANYTHING. make sure they make sure the cars frame is still 100% good. if its off at all you have the right to total the car. and i do recomend that you try and get that thing declared totaled. it wont be the same... ever...ever ever...fooevaeva.

I'll get it looked at. If the frame is off slightly I will have it totalled. How do they check the frame?

I've heard they measure it somehow.

Ouch...sorry to see the slobalt that way... :/

goddamn that sux bro

the guy that hit u must've been freakin movin, their car is F#CKED!!!

You got hit after trying to avoid a car in front of you? As in the car in front of you stopped and you changed lanes and then were rear ended? If that's the case it would be your fault, but maybe I'm not understanding how it happened.

that car should be written off.. there's all kinds of damage these shops arent gonna be able to fix properly...
