Got in accident tonight...What do you think??
Short story... Guy in accord ran a red light and hit my drivers side between 30-40MPH... Sorry for the crappy pic...any comments welcome. Not to easy to see, but whole wheel is pushed in, right behind wheel is really smashed up, does this look like frame damage to anyone?

It's almost certain that you have a frame damage here...Pulling the frame, changing the suspension damaged components, and rebalancing will not get you back the factory balance no matter how skilled your shop is.
I had an accident few years back in a montero, and the frame got damaged. After it, the balance was never restored like factory... I was able to tell while going through the curves I used to drive, and it occasionally started to drift under pressure while previousely it never happened. Conclusion: your handling is compromised, don't take the chance - SELL IT.

it was 30-40mph so about 50-65km/hr... it actually took quote the beating... definitely frame damage by the looks of it... i would definitely get rid of it... or maybe the insurance company might write it off...

Both my wife and I are ok, really sore, but thats to be expected.
It is an 02, so I know the value is not that high, but it was in perfect condition, less then 45k on her, everything was flawless, perfect paint, interior looked new...its a shame to lose such a good car... I was thinking the same thing as far as it never being the same even if it gets fixed...guess I will wait to see what the insurance company says and go from there...

First, it's important you and your wife is okay...Second, unfortunate to loose a good reliable SAV like yours. Let your insurance take care of it and like what you've said, then go from there....

Hope you are ok. Don't forget to visit doctor, you never know what's happened inside. Your X5 looked very nice before accident.

It was a great car, but fortunately they made lots of them -- so you should be able to get a replacement without too much difficulty. This is a good time of the year to buy a car.
Did the side airbag go off? Just curious.
