I was involved in a rear end collision several years ago. Slightly wet highway, with the bane of my existence vehicle behind me going too fast (late 90’s Explorer, I want them all to be crushed). Traffic slowed to a stop in front of me, I had plenty of time to stop, Explorer driving douchebag didn’t, and he hit me going about 35ish mph. He tried to swerve at the last second onto the shoulder but still hit me pretty square.
Anyway, all of that is to say a rear end collision like that wasn’t car total bad, but I didn’t want to keep my Corolla long term after that. The repair shop had to replace the rear crash beam, and a section of the trunk had to be welded in, and full respray of both rear fenders, trunk, and bumper. The repair was done well, but it was enough damage I knew I wasn’t going to keep the car. Try to find out the best you can the extent of the damage. Have paint thickness checked, and look for any replaced body panels. If it does I would walk away and find an uncrashed FR-S or 86. [emoji106]
