Handicaped idiot hit my car, 2 months to the day after purchase Options

I just got a phone call during lunch that the guy who hit me was just carted off to jail.

LOL. Awesome, man. I'm glad atleast some justice has been served. But it still does nothing for your car. I'm sorry.

Well, got the estimate today. $1700 in parts + Labor. However, the estimate's not right b/c it has the car listed as drivable and no engine damage.

I guess not having a radiator doesn't count as engine damage?!

but yeah sorry about your car

Got a call from Cobb County Toyota just now... told me the frame is damaged so bad that if they were to try and put it back in square the whole car would rip apart.

Haven't gotten the official word, but they told me they've spoken to the insurance company and that they're not even going to attempt to repaire the car. So I guess that means they're totaling it... which means my loan is just going to get paid off...

Looks like I'll have to go to court against the guy

I'm in hell...

I called my insurance company today. They told me to get a second opionion on the car to start with, but I'd have to call back tomorrow b/c my adjuster is not in today, so they don't know the specifics. I got in touch with Cobb County Toyota and they told me that the car could be repaired correctly, but it would cost around $6000 to fix. They guy was nice, but he told me that the insurance compnay told him that their position is that they aren't going to cover anything b/c the car was previously wrecked.

It just pisses me off. I took the car to a toyota dealer and they told me it was wrecked but the repairs were done correctly. Now I get hit by some asshole who is uninsured and now I'm told by another Toyota dealer that the previous work was done far below standards. Apparently my insurance company is going to wipe their hands clean of the issue.

I could have a loan payment to pay off on this car, and I'd have to buy a whole new car. I'll have to go after him personally, and get a lawyer, which is going to cost me more money... money I don't have. And for what? To go after a guy who has nothing? I'd be luckey to get a dime after all my bills are added up.

Right now, I'm out $7,167.83 on a car I owned for 2 months, drove for 12 days (just got my license), all b/c I was in the wrong place when an asshole decided to go over a curb b/c he didn't want to turn.

And I have to get a new car... ugh
