My mom got rear ended the other day in our (well my parents

) G35. A big van hit a truck going around 30mph and my mom was in front of the truck. My little sis (6y/o) was in the back and they are both fine, but the car's ass is messed up. I took a couple pics, it was...$2500 worth of damage.

It's totaled. May as well sell it to me for $1,000 (the G35 is my dream car)

get a second estimate on the repair.
I saw a 350Z (same car) get rear ended about that bad and the outward appearance was minor cosmetic damage.
in actuality due to the crumple zone design, the car was borderline totaled.. the frame was crushed under the bumper cover.
Personally I wouldn't drive a car like that after it'd beed rear ended unless I got to see the full damage first hand and knew the entire rear end of the car, frame and all, had been replaced by a professional.

Damn that sux, glad to hear that everyone is ok. That sounds kinda steep on the price but then again its an Infinity. Hope insurance is gonna cover it.

that price is because the entire rear frame rail support section has to be replaced I'd bet, along with the fascia damage and cosmetics.
the whole back end pretty much gets replaced.
welcome to crumple zones.

throw away cars.
