i just found out that my car may be a write off :( ... Monday night when i was comming home from work going through wasaga beach, i was rearended by someone in a Jeep YJ who didn't see that there was a lineup of cars stopped for somone making a left hand turn ... i tried to swirve to the right to get out of the way, but there wasn't enough time, or room on the side of the road for me to make a clean get away.
He ended up smashing into the back of me, which inturn sent me into the right rear of the SUV infront of me
So far the damage is, Front bumper, hood, Left Head light, Leftside mirror, left front fender, fender liner, washer bottle
Now, i just find out from a friend of mine who owns the bodyshop i took my car to, that the insurance appraiser might be writing my car off due to the damage in the rear that i completly missed when i went over the car and took pictures ... apperantly when i was hit hard from behind, it pushed up the hatch a bit so there is a gap near the glass and the rear quarter .. and both rear quarters have signs of dents/kinks in them
I'm waiting to hear from the appraiser tomorrow to find out what he is wanting to do ... i hope i'm not f***ed and without a car

Cripes, at least you're okay but man, getting rear ended sucks, esp. when weather isn't a factor but driver stupidity is :(
If the ins. co. is the least bit iffy about fixing the car, start nosing around now for a replacement, just to save yourself more delay later when the ins. co. says "start shopping"...

from what i've been told, the insurance company is probably leaning towards a write off .. but i hope they don't .. so for now i'm just searching the auto trader to find out the prices of foci's with the same miliage as me so i can put in a decent counter-offer after they give me there piece of crap offer
I'd like to get another focus if it comes down to that, a white one .. but if i don't, then i'll be selling everything that was on my car and that i haven't had a chance to install yet
I also might be in need of some stock parts to replace the parts i have to change if the insurance company makes me

Insdurance companies are wonky like that... did any of your airbags go off? If so I would defiately say they would lean twoards writing the car off...
Good thinking on sourcing out prices for like cars. I'm sure you're searching local Ford dealer lots to see what they have similar to yours (Ford lots would net you the highest prices) but if you need another pair of eyes looking...
Man, I still remember laughing all the way to the bank after my crack up in '99 because the ins. co. ended up giving me more than I had paid for the car I was driving at the time (the accident hapened 4 months after I bought it) it was written off so I didn't end up owing a dime after it was all said & done.
