View Full Version : integra dc2 -REPAIRABLE OR WRITE OFF?
hey guys, last week i rammed my car into some steel rails. car oversteered and ended up smashing up the rear end. car is on market value and i went to the panel beaters to get a quote. they said around 8k without pen to paper. im insured with allianz. do you think this can be repairable or straight up write off? here are some photos. thanks for your feedback in advance.

imo, if you go through insurance, they will write it off. beaver,quarter, floor, tailgate.
best bet if you wana save it and save some money. find someone willing to cut and shut.

Write off for sure
I'd hope they write it off, I would'nt want to drive a car that's been repaired from damage like that.

write Off... Remove all
Mods and anything worth anything and go through insurance... Don't go to insurance with the shit you like still in the car ... Mate did that expecting to get it back before they took it and no luck only got his personal possessions back none of his mods...
Let us know what you decide

For a car to be a write-off your repair quote only has to be like 40% of the insured value of the car, so for $8g you're well and truly fudged...

Yep. Make sure you take any mods, seats, wheels, everything. And it's definitely a write-off. There's no point repairing a car for that high a percentage of its value, and it will never be the same anyway.
I'm wondering what the **** you were doing that caused it to oversteer, but that's your business. Good luck with the insurance process.

Its a write off. Insurance companies write off cars if the damages are about 70-80% of the cars vaule.
the dc2 isnt worth that much maybe 8-10k tops. Parts alone for your car maybe about 3k$ Paint about 1.5k$ labour is expensive especially that 1/4 panel. Looking easily over 8-9k$
Good Luck
But then again. my dc2r was smashed from behind. Only quoted for 6k$ about same damage as yours.

Once they assess it they will ask you on the spot if you would like to buy the car back,,,

exactly so do this champ
take anything out of the car eg recaros, sound system, jdm steering wheel, wheels, anything aftermarket take out of the car, replace it with stock parts now stock parts are really really cheap. Once you have replaced them advice your insurance company of events, let it get write off, as na-118 said " once they assess it they will ask you on the spot you want to buy it back" advise yes i want it at a really really cheap rate.
Once purchased strip the car, take engine out with everything intact, front and rear brakes, sell the rest at a very cheap rate on ozhonda or better yet take it to a wreckers who will outright buy the whole car at a heap of shit rate. With your write cash and write car cash buy a nice eg vti or ek gli (with sunroof if poss) replace the engine/brakes, slap on your aftermark stuff from your integ onto the eg/ek and all it a 2-3months
