I think that might be the case.I guess I'll find out this week sometime.
The suspension is toast, so is the whole right side basically.
Yeah I wasnt paying attention unfortunately.
I was in an accident in my '07 base coupe in April of this year. Initially I thought it was just a bumper replacement, new radiator, and other minors. in the end the fram was slightly bent and the damage was just over $16k. They totaled it, which suck, but it also allowed me to get myself into an SRT-6 so that was a plus.
On the side of valuing it, I can give you some information on mine. Mine had just over 11,000 miles at the time it was totaled. Purchased new in April 08 and totaled in April 09. The paint was near immaculate and no flaws with it. They ended up valuing the car at $17k, which was about $4k more than I thought. So in the end I got $16.5k ($500 dedeuctible) and that is almost exactly what I paid for my SRT-6 with 19k miles ($16.7K)
Good luck with everything, hope it all works out smoothly.
Even though every second of the process is nerve-racking and stressful.
