4th Generation Well the end of my camry ***updated pics + Parts listed in FS***

Link to the FS post, posted: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/sh...46#post2353646

Update: I went to the shop yesterday to check the car.. it seems my frame got bent in as well in the accident and thats another $1000-$1500 fix. What's lost is the water pump, AC coolant, radiator, and basically everything in the front. But I was very happy that the HID kit was still working 100% with the projectors. Anyways heres the pics of the camry. RIP 05 30 08

I'm parting it cuz quoted fix is at least $4000-$6000. I might as well place that cash on a down payment for a new corolla or something else. Besides I was always bragging about getting a more gas saving car....




Here is HIS accident which I caused to his SUV... Not showing his licence plate for law reasons

$800 for this fucked up 2 nut holes especially on the plastic piece too









:::STORY:::
Today I got into an accident. To sum it up.. none of us were hurt so thats a good thing to me. And the accident was my fault.

Long Story short...

It involved 3 cars. All of us were at a complete stop on a road cuz of a red light. After it turns green we all start going but idiotic #1 car decides to make a fast turn into a street without signaling. Then #2 Acura SUV makes a hard brake and lucky for him his ABS kicks in and he just makes a complete stop without any problem. While for me. As I'm already going at maybe 15-20km, I slammed on my brakes too and hopefully won't hit the SUV but my brakes jams and as my car doesnt have ABS from the looks of it.. I drifted and slammed into his SUV.

Onto the damage...

The #1 car already turn into the street and got away (wasn't his/her fault from that scene). The SUV only had near minor damage, his car only had 2 of my licence plate nuts that hit into his plastic piece bumper.

While for me....my camry hood, radiator front bumper and my HID headlights that I just got my bigbird got smashed into my engine. I believe my HID bulbs and ballast are still ok.. will have to check on that tomorrow morning when I go to the shop where my camry is parked at the moment.

Now onto the cost...

I was VERY lucky the guy didnt want to get the car insurance nor the police to get involved. Which me as i'm 20 and my car insurance is already at $4300 a year wouldn't want to get involved with the insurance too. But what was outragous was that he wanted $1000 for the damage of his 2 nut whole plastic piece!!! But as I was the one who caused this accident couldn't really do anything.. the only other option was to get the car insurance involved + the police. So I talked to him about reducing the price cuz seriously 2 nut holes.. and we both agreed for $800. Good thing I just got paid from work and that covers that cost.

But in the end my camry is smashed and gone. I already spoke with my techy and he said it would probably be a $3000-$4000 fix and I definitely dont have that cash. So I'm going to sell it to whom ever and get a used car.

This sucks... I was going to show my new HID lights to the eastern TN meeting this saturday.. but I guess I won't be going as I don't have the camry anymore

I've been in minor accidents and the cost of replacing bumpers on new cars can be over $2000 because repairs have to be done at a dealer.

If he is replacing the bumper on a new car, it could cost $800.

Yeah his SUV was the Acura MDX 2003-2005? And he wanted to get it repaired in the dealership cuz his friends who showed up asked to get it fixed there. I recommended that I have a techy who can fix it up for you before his friends arrived. But he refused.

I probably do a part out.. for dibs is the TRD front strut bar and TRD rear sway bar, TRD reverse gauges, HID headlights with FX35 (i believe the projectors are perfectly fine), Mod express HID D2C HID kit 8000k. As for the rear disc. I'll have to see. I'll let you guys know tomorrow. I'll also take pictures of the camry.

And yeah seriously... his SUV is minor while my camry got fucked..
