3500 Alero R.I.P. :(

Well the 3500 Alero is no longer back in August I wrecked my truck on a saturday moning (rear ended a car when I hit some water over the road) then the thursday after that I get a call at work from my girlfriend and she is in a panic, "some chick just ran in to me in the parking lot, and the air bags went off". I was like oh s*** and rush home to make sure that she was ok, and she was. luckly the cops showed up (same one from my accident ) because they don't have to when it is on private property. So I called the insurance and they said that I was covered as long as the other girl said that it was her fault, and she did say it was her fault also that her brakes did not work.

A month later I get a cheque from the insurance and I kept the car so that I can pull the engine and some other parts! Now I am looking for another Alero or n-body.
After I find another car I will part out what is left of the car!

I will try to post up some pics this weekend of the damage.

that was before. never did get the headers on it or the 3500 plenum with the 65mm TB

after:






it dose not look that bad but it was a good hit. broke the aluminum control arm and took a chunk out of the rim, and the air bags made it a write off.

I think there's probably a lot more damage hiding in there than it initially looks like. Very likely totaled, but bdyman can tell you more.

airbags are a grand each, parts and labor. (typical ballpark figure from the insurance standpoint). Luckily nobody was hurt severely. GLWS when you do a part out.

thanks every one!

having trouble picking up a decent 4dr v6, keep missing the good ones for a grand lol! And I don't have time to do another 2.4 to 3.4/3.5 swap right now.

I will just keep waiting it out, a good one will show up!

If I were you, I'd sell it as a repairable if you don't want to fix it yourself.
Alero airbags have dropped significantly in price, and the repair is easy.
This would be considered an "easy fix".
Your cost to fix it.... having someone else paint it.... doing the rest yourself... probably $1000-1500. That includes an alignment.

I thought about that, it would be less for me because I am a mechanic, but winter is comming and I do not have a garage to work on it or a place to put it. I might pick up a 2dr in the spring and build it up but for now I just picked up a 2002 Grand Am GT for $900 going to use some of the parts from the Alero on it! Once the GA is on the road (hopefully nex week) I will part out whats left of the Alero!

I have some S&S headers and I built my own for my cavalier then re-made the rear to fit the Alero. I might do some 3500 manifolds on the GA!
