How much do you think it cost to repair this?

[Zenvey]

Sigh got into an accident afew days ago but nobody was hurt. car quite badly damaged but still managed to drive to a workshop.

 

i received a rough estimate of 13+k for repairs and i think an amount like this will be regarded as an total loss by the insurance.

 

the workshop is from the T%n C**** so

 

would like to ask you guys on your views and advice on the following

 

1) how do i estimate the current market value? my car is 1.5 years old

 

2) in your opinion is 13k reasonable for damages as such? assuming no engine damage

 

3) what is insurance loading?

 

thanks for any advice

i would say its pretty expensive, assuming that the damages are only superficial.. not internal injuries sustained...

check out the prices for repairs @ BM for toyota cars.. it isn't that expensive compared to your counterpart...

 

current market value?? depends on ur insurance company.. i know aunty lucy gives the current market value...

 

be prepared to lose quite alot if you want to scrap this ride...

[Zenvey]

scrap? cannot la 1.5 years only

[Weixiang_06]

ya lah.. but then if your insurance company decides to call it total loss.... i would coz some insurance company, their total loss is close to what a scrap price would be

[Vit4wd]

Judging from your damages, it is pretty superficial, which requires knocking back the metal, putty and respray. It shd cost approx $7K to $8K at most.

 

My friend's car, which damage is similar to the picture below, cost S$13K to repair at an outside workhop. There was extensive damage to the engine, shaft and wheels too. Of course, the authorised distributor charges him almost double the price.

 

That should be a rough gauge for you on your repair costs.

repair it at some reputable ws outside... if your insurance coy is not giving the green light for the price quoted by the AD

[Quantum]

13k is definitely you

try Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2 area, based on your photos I don't think it more than 5k

[Weixiang_06]

can i add on?

 

try riverview!

[Zenvey]

thanks guys, hopefully insurance can work it out with AD so i won't have to try all the other options

[Kungming]
