From my accident repair experiences, your car will never be the same. I would talk to the GM of the dealership and tell them they are giving you a car of equal to what you brought them. Whatever you do, do NOT let them fix the car- I would take it to a guaranteed repair shop so they have to fix it right.

I will tell you to avoid Ed Morse Honda in West Palm Beach like the plague. They are just as bad.

Oh - the tech needs to get fired, and from what you said damage wise, and the car having 94K, chances are it will be totaled out. Call your insurance as well maybe for an opinion?

upload pics= member priv's.

You can argue the car at being unsafe due to airbag deployment and they will need to replace vehicle, get a lawyer and argue. Get a police report indicating the approx. speed the vehicle was moving at etc.

1. quit talking to the tech. He just wants to get away with it.

2. demand a new car, or another car... you DO NOT want a car that was crashed bad since it will never be the same.

3. If they start to pull your chain, and try and talk you into stuff, then just walk away, and consult a lawyer, or get someone from the news to do a little story on it. The dealership will all of the sudden do whatever makes you happy.

4. quit talking to the tech.

5. quit talking to the tech.

Did we tell you. Stop talking to the tech. Do not let them start repairs yet. DO NOT LET THEM give you the estimate of repairs. GET A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT. Call an attourney. Oh, yeah, do they have you in a free loaner or rental yet?

Do you have insurance? Maybe they can step in, declare the car totaled, and take it up with the dealer.

Do not let them start any repairs.
Get a copy of the accident report.
Talk to an attorney, most will give you the first consultation free.
