Question, guys and ladies!!
A little over a month ago, I was stopped at a red light. The light turned green, so forward I went! Unfortunately, I don't have peripheral vision and failed to see the school cop speeding through his red light, and he didn't have sirens on so there was no way I could hear him coming. BOOM. T-boned, toward the front end of my car though cause I would have been seriously injured or not here if he'd hit my door. My car spun, and the back end hit his car. So I'm thinking he was going well over the posted 35 mph limit? Anywho, it's been about 5 weeks now.. the estimated damage on my 2013 Accord V6 was 12,500.. once all the body work was done, they decided to turn the car on and realized it needs a new transmission. Seems sketchy at best; when I go pick up a bike, I make sure it kicks over before I make an offer and start dreaming of all the cool cosmetic stuff.. so throw in another 3,000 for a new transmission. 15,500 is TOTALED, amiright?! But no, they replace the transmission.. I was supposed to pick it up Monday, but some stuff I don't fully understand happened. Something about running codes, and something self destructed, and two sensors in the front seat aren't working.. the parts are ordered, and two more days to get here, and then installing everything. WHY ISNT MY CAR TOTALED?! Any advice is much appreciated.
