Had an accident, how bad is it?

[Chronoz4]

Hi everyone, I’m new here. Had an accident to Fusion SE 2020. May I ask how bad is it? How much you think it will cost for repairing? Thanks a lot.

I'd say $10K+ at least.  THe apron looks bent and the frame rail is also likely bent.  Lots of broken wires and that headlight alone is likely $1000.  If you blew multiple airbags then the car would be considered totalled by the insurance company.

 

If you are trying to fix that on a budget, especially if there are deployed air bags, you're gonna spend ALOT to make it right.

Hi Kelley. Thanks for your opinion. Zero airbag deployed and the car is drivable. Sorry I didn’t take a clearer image, but I did not find obvious bent on the scene. May I ask if those information would make things differently. Thank you.

You need to pull the front bumper cover off and the fender to get a better look.

This. 

 

It's difficult to estimate collision repair costs just by looking at a car in person.  Even less so with a picture on the Internet.  It needs to be disassembled and examined by a pro, both on the ground and on a lift.  You can't know for sure what's damaged under the sheetmetal.  Just from the looks of it, I'd say the subframe is tweaked to the right.  Is your A/C working?  The condenser may have been damaged.  Is yours an EB?  The intercooler may be damaged as well.  Any check engine lights on?  Core support may be pushed back.  In short, it needs to be professionally examined for an estimate.  What happened anyway.  Did you run under a large truck? Do you have collision insurance?

You are right. Thank you.

I had an accident with a Jeep Wrangler. Yes I do have an insurance and they are taking care of it. I just hope the car won’t be totaled.

Well, good luck and welcome to the Forum anyway.  I'm sorry that your introduction was due to an accident.
