Default just got into an accident

2007 S2k, berlina black.
-------------
Just bought it last Saturday, took a turn too fast and hit a curb.

The driver side front tire is pushed back into the fender wall. The door is a bit hard to open. No damage to rims or front lip.

1. do you think it's bad? cost to fix?

2. what should I tell my insurance company? I just traded in my other car for this. Didn't have a chance to switch the insurance yet. It has been 5 days - It should be covered, as long as I stick with Allstate right?

HELP!

Check your policy, but most give you about 15 days of automatic continuation. You should be OK.

My most important recommendation to you is that after you get the damage fixed, you should sign up for a class on how to drive a car like this. Most car clubs offer them. "Driver's skills", "car control", "novice skills", something like that.

if the wheel is pushed into the fender, sounds as if you bent your control arms...have fun.

Sorry to hear about this, but at least you should be OK insurance wise. You need to contact them ASAP. Good luck in getting the car sorted out. Allstate will probably pay to fix the car, then cancel your insurance, so you might want to start shopping for a new provider while the car is in the shop.

Don't take this wrong; I have to ask, because I have a bet with some of the other members of S2kI. How old are you? A couple days ago I bet some of the guys that the next crash report would involve somepone over 20, rather than someone younger, so basically all I want to know is whether you're over 20 or under 20.
Thanks, and good luck.
