My poor fit!
#21
Here are some updated pics. I'm still trying to get a rental car. The other person's insurance was saying that they won't get moving on things until they get a statement from the lady that hit me. Of course they're just taking their sweet time.
Here are some pics though...
I used to have a reservoir for the washer fluid in there somewhere...
We'll see how it goes, still trying to get through the red tape.

And yeah, I'm still sore. But I got some medicine. Muscle relaxers and anti-inflamatory stuff. Actually need to take some right now...

I think the insurance company is going to push for a repair though. Since the Fit has a high resale value now.
Does anyone know how much it costs to reset an airbag? People have been telling me different values. I just know that three of mine deployed, and I'm trying to see how much that is.

I've been reading about that. I think what I read is that they will take away from the payment they give you. So it would be like, settlement - salvage value = what I would get.

I'm sure I will be. Even if they total it out, I think I'm going to get another Fit. After all, It kept me safe in this accident!

Airbags are pretty expensive. On my estimate, the steering wheel airbag (the only one that deployed for me) is $611, and the two airbag sensors are $75 each. Plus about 1 hour of labor for all three. It is the most expensive single item that is being replaced on my car.

The insurance lady kept saying, "Once you get it to a body shop we can get the estimates for the repair and tell you how long the repairs will take." My mom was like, "You haven't even seen the car!"
I told them I wanted to be there whenever they estimate the damages. They kind of hesitated saying they normally don't do that, but said they would make a special request. I'm just going to tell the body shop to not let anyone see the car without my permission and me being there. Otherwise, if it is going to be repaired, they won't get the work. I think that'll get the body shops attention.

Oh guys, i had another question.
How does this accident affect my warranty? If things get repaired, will I still be qualified under warranty if something goes wrong down the line, or how does that work?

forget that replacing it with usdm parts. go jdm, for sure......once in a lifetime chance right? well hoping that your car wont get into another accident. but hell......i would either go A) carbon fiber stuff or b) jdm front end.

with reguards to a certifyed honda shop... ask the dealer u got it from... maybe the dealer can do the work (and really hurt the insurence co.) also te dealer might total your car... citing irrepairable structural damage? they would know best right?
