I have or had a yellow 2002 s2k that I wrecked sunday in europe. I am trying to decide what I should do with it because both airbags came out and the insurance is talking about totaling the car more than likely. the only damage you can see from the outside is the front bumper. I have cosidered keeping it and fixing it. The car has under 100k miles the main thing that worries me is frame damage. If it does have frame damage if I get it fixed how much does this kinda of work normally cost and will the frame keep the same strength or structural integrity as it did. I would like some feed back from someone who has went through this who has experience on this kinda thing.

 

Pictures?

 

+1.

 

Have the frame of the car check for major things and go from there

 

I havent ever wrecked a unibody car, but when I ran my truck into a concrete wall in highschool I was able to have the frame straightened for around $250. Not sure if that helps you at all haha

The car doesn't have frame damage the shop its at looked it over. Pretty much all it is that is damaged is the front bumper and airbags came out. I find it quite shocking that they would even total this car with the slight amount of damages it has just because the airbags came out.

 

Maybe buy the car back from the insurance and make it a track car? Best of luck. I, going though this same situation, but mine is due to hail damage. Every panel has about 20-50 dings in it.
