Is it safe to drive after frame damage?

[So_nice]

looks bad. drive safely bro.

Juz got update, St** quote Insurance 31K worth of damages. Waiting for insurance people to go down to bargain. I bought it at 50K plus, no chance to total loss liao.

When considering if it a case of total-lost...they don't look at how much you paid for the car but how much the car is worth (usually quite a lot lower that the prices you paid).

 

In any case, better not be a case of total-lost if you have taken a big loan to buy this car.....you will most likely have to top-up quite of bit of money just to have it scrapped.

They wont even repair, they will send it to the Garage.

 

Do you even have a car?

Hi, guys added some photo, please advise.

 

It's really safer for you to get a new car.

 

Or, if you don't have cash on hand, keep it, but drive REALLY safely.

You can check with your insurance. If you don't intend to get another car, then its easier to declare total lost and wait for your record to clear before buying another car. Else, you probably won't be able to buy insurance from another company if you have a total loss record. Premium will be extremely high as well. I have seen someone paying 8K for insurance because he claim total loss and no other companies want to accept him.

i wonder how much of the 31K is for labour charges...if the engine wasn't damaged significantly, 31K does seem too high.

[Voxy28]

I think better sell it.... it will break into 2 in another head on collision.

Bro,scrapped it.Don't bother to repair,31k they confirm scrap.You see your OMV how much?If your OMV is higher than your repair,they'll repair as repair is cheaper.If repair is higher than your OMV,who in the right sense of mind will repair?

[Pea01]

Happened to me too. Can repair. Get a reputable workshop who specialises in chassis alignment and measurement. Still, it won't be 100% perfect of course. But 90% - 95% or even more is definitely possible.

 

U still driving the repaired car? How is it?Does it give u any problems?

[Good-Carbuyer]

I believe I could share your pain. One of my previous cars was hit by a lorry, but did not looked that badly damaged as yours. After repairs it was fine. However, every 3 over weeks later, the wheels alignment somehow became mis-aligned, after repeated wheel re-alignment done. Later I realised it was the chassis mis-alignment that caused the repeated wheels mis-alignment. Some damages can be repaired. However, the repair can be temporary. The damaged problem can repeatedly re-surfaced after some time, which I believe it is difficult if not impossible to claim from motor insurer, repeatedly for the same accident. Subsequent wheels re-alignment DIY since can not claim (actually in my case, the chassis repair did not last)

I sold off the car finally

According to the insurance, i hae send it to authorised worksop - ST** at Jln Boon Lay, is that considered good?

This type of damages,send to Kah Motor the best.
