Is it worth it?
Honda civic 08’ - 90k miles - California
Hello community. Not sure if we do car collisions here but I had a few questions for anyone with answers. Thank you in advance.
1. I was involved in a collision a year ago and chose to keep my car instead of giving to insurance for a buy out. Everyone involved in the crash has been paid out and the insurance is no longer involved so this project would be out of pocket.
2. The questions I have are based on this image. How much does this door, frame, and airbag situation seem like it would cost? I have gone to some shops and the numbers they gave were between $8-10k. Does that seem accurate and is there any way to make that go down?
3. Could I just fix the door and the frame without the airbag? As I have no one sitting on that side, I only need that door fixed. Would any shops do this or would they all require the airbag to be replaced as well. (Would not register this car just fixing it for personal)
4. The shops offered to take the car for free with the pink slip. They would then fix and sell the car for themself. Does this seem like a better option than spending around $8k on fixing the door. Or selling it to a webuycars spot for no more than $700.
5. I am ok with getting a new door and sealing that side off and fixing the b pillar. I just don’t know if anyone would do that without airbags and all the extras that “look bad”.
6. If you guys have any information based on what I provided or questions. Please feel free to leave them below
