Wrecked Car - Sell or Keep?
I was rear ended 3 weeks ago while stopped at a light in my Focus RS. So far they are over $15k in repairs with a lot of structural damage including the frame, trunk floor pan, suspension parts, a broken frame on the drivers seat, and broken interior panels. They are over 100 hours of labor so far.
Allstate warranties the work for as long as I own the car but with so much structural damage, I’m concerned it won’t ever be the same and I might not even notice any issues until further down the road. I’ve also talked to them about a diminished value claim. I’m wondering what you guys would do. Keep the car and chance it or sell it? |

Fix it. Insurance totaled my daughter’s Fiesta. Took the money, had it fixed. It’s as good as new and no car payment.

A Ford Focus with damage that severe? I would dump that like the remnants of a Flex chili dinner on Koko's roof.

That thing would have already had a hot date with a crusher, and my back to the ortho folks.

It won't ever be the same. If I could afford to, I'd send it down the road, if it were me

My Inlaws owned a car that was hit extremely hard when literally on the way home from the dealership I can tell you even though the body shop made it absolutely perfect looking it was a rattle trap and ate tires later on. It was a new model and year and had to wait 6 months for all the parts even. Ended up being 60 to 70 % of value to fix it when all said and done. That car should have been kept a few months and dumped due to the amount of damage. Minor damage is one thing but sounds like your car will never be the same and issues will pop up later.
