I own a 1998 Honda Civic 4dr EX & was just involved in a front end accident on the left side. I really love this car & have only had it a month. I know nothing about mechaniac's! Basically the entire front fender is pushed into the hood. The strut assembly & all other components is obivously broken and needs to be repaired. The unibody is said to be bent but we don't knoe yet if its cracked. I had a mechaniac come & look at it & he quoted about $5,000.00 to fix and pound out the frame. From his opinion, he told me to junk it, it wouldn't be worth it. What does anyone think? I dopn't have alot of money to work with fixing it, but as far as I'm concerned it's better than having no car at all....
I was wondering if you could repaire the mechanical damage and deal with the frame work later?????? Please help

The frame is a very important part of a car. If it is warped, slightly bent, etc the tires will not rotate correctly. They may wobble bounce, etc. It will put excess wear on the axles etc if it is driven this way. It will probably cost at least $5000 to fix the frame and mechanical damage and the car will still not be as good as before. For that price you can probably buy something better.
