Okay.. so my girlfriend posted it earlier. It's an '05 KIA Optima LX. And I was driving to work on some fairly icy roads, nothing too major. I was driving fine till about 2 minutes away from work when my car started to slide, at roughly 20-25 MPH, and I hit a curb, didn't hop it.. just nailed it head on and my car just took a mean bump. I managed to get her off the road and on a side street where I parked it. I look at the front driver's side tire, and the rim is heavily damaged and it's pushed up against the frame. And when I tried to turn my wheel, it was pushing up against the frame, giving it friction to even turn it completely, and you can hear the framework grinding against the wheel. So, I parked it for the night and I'm getting it towed tomorrow. I just would like to know about how much financial damage I'm looking at here..

As always when someone asks this question, $300,000 is my price. If this is too much, you'll have to ask someone else as they will have a different price. But I will fix it for $300,000.

Its possible you may have bent a lower contol arm, a strut or even the steering rack. Any one of these parts could be damaged/ As long as there is no structural damage to the unibody it should not be too expensive. I'M guessing about $1,200. to $1,500. Let me know when you get an estimate.

It's going to be EXPENSIVE!!!!
Replace driver's wheel hardware
Straighten out frame
Maybe repair transmission
I've no clue, but I'd guess somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000
