Damage Estimates
Hey guys. I recently got in a wreck with my 1999.5 2.8qm and i am wondering if my it is totaled. There's pretty heavy damage to the passenger-side rear of the body and the right-rear wheel is slanted outward (I am thinking this could have messed with the quattro system and possibly the rear axle). Also the ABS light now appears on the dash. I am just wondering what you guys think the total damage estimates are and if the insurance company does declare it totaled what (Audi) should I buy with about a $9,000 budget?

RE: Damage Estimates
6-7k worth of damage...definately totalled
if I had 9k I would buy a 1.8T with the lowast possible milage...try 2 find a B5 with less than 70k on the clock....
make sure the car has all of its maintenance records!
gl! sorry to hear about your accident [>:]

RE: Damage Estimates
Sorry about your car. This is something that I am extremely worry about, getting hit by someone else (cross my fingers).
From the pictures, it looks like the chasis might have been hit; in which that it would probably cost a lot to fix which then would probably make your car be declared as totalled.
I wish you luck with thenewpurchase and I agree with buying a 1.8T if you plan to do some modifying.

RE: Damage Estimates
those pics look like 4k damage, (to me)
if i had 9,000 bucks i'd definitly add 1,500 and get an S4.
i almost bought a 2001 S4, 6 speed, silver ext. black int. with 66k miles for 10,600 but decided not to get it after driving it. (needed new turbos possibly piston rings)
you can find a hit but still clear title S4 for 9g. thats what im looking for. i found plenty that had 65-75k times 2000-2001. but didnt like the color combination. =/ i want white on white or black on black. or nagaro blue with blue/white int. hard combo's to find. and if you do find them they tend to be more since the rarity.
