2003 Camry wrecked

[RSCD_HireD]

thanks for the help guys.....

as for the liability thing yes it is for older cars that are fully paid for.....this 03 camry was bought used so we paid 9k. As for the enigne pics i will get those posted asap as soon as i go back to the dealer.....

if the repair involves welind i think were going to have to sell it off cause the prices ive been quoted at several different body shops where around 5 to 9 k (us dollars for any canadians reading)......


what do you guys think would be more logical to do? part out the camry and sell the parts?; just sell the car and see what we can get? or try to fix it (body shop if welding is required)

id love to fix it myself but i have no ideal howto weld.......


once again thanks for your help and concern form sis!!

scrapes on my bumper and i guess i can wax off whatever color of the

and just wondering if i should file a police report.
file insurance

current paying $700/6mths for comprehensive coverage
will my insurance go up?

ask her to pay you at least $500. She'll easily save that after a few months if her insurance company finds out.

agreed that's stupid. I mean i could understand if he did this like a dozen times and they kept tellin him and he ignored the courts or something, but i'm really tired of police arresting people for stupid minor traffic shit when we have murders and drug dealers and con-artists running the streets hurting people on purpose.

What ever happened to protecting the public? Did arresting him really help anyone? Did the cops think he drives around crashing into cars for fun?

i hate our justice system.

i'm guessing you paid off the car? Because no one will give you a loan without full coverage.

i'd part out the car, but dont know where to sell it, maybe ebay? Doors and trunk and rear bumper and quarter panels might sell well, but even all that would probably be less than $1000. Maybe autotrader? Or list them on here for sale?

i do not think that is possible.
She is in a rental car and I think she will need to go through the police and her insurance company.

I just wish she would...

I'm not a cop, but I've worked security in the military. If the guy doesn't have any ID, you take him where you have the facilities to check him out. I'm sure the cops were doing just that. Cuffing someone is pretty much standard unless you are just giving him a courtesy ride. They were protecting the public, mainly my wife and myself by making sure someone was going to be accountable for the damages to my wife's car.

Dude, you need to get us those engine bay pics. The only welding needed is the upper crossmember. If you lived near my, my uncle would probably do it for like 60 bucks... A reason to use his new welder Anyways, as far as everything, it should be all plug and play. Can you atleast post up the estimates to see what the body shop is actually replacing. I mean, you can hit up a junkyard and probably touch somewhere around 500 or 600 for all the stuff you need. Weld the UCM and replace the radiator with OE or aftermarket (if it's damaged) and you should be good to go. If you do decided to part it out, then... the net is here for you. I'm sure some TN kids need some interior pieces here and there. Any aftermarket parts on there?

As far as not having insurance, in Washington DC, if you don't have it (if you lost it after you got registered) than you cannot drive your car and must turn in your plates within 7 days. As far as being arrested... ehhh.. if you driving with no insurance, you need to be arrested. That's just me. If you have no DL, you don't need to be driving. They are issued for a reason. I mean, I doubt you'll get jail time for driving with no DL and no insurance but you will have some nice tickets and will probably get a suspended DL (assuming you had one).
