Today i was being a nice guy and i took my Nephew out driving on his permit and i was not aware he NEVER driven before we where in a parking lot and the next thing i knew was i was grabbing the wheel and trying to turn it away from a guard rail it did not feel like like much of a hit but the way it hit i am a little nervous the damage is alot more then it is showing the fender is pushed back far enough that i can not open the passenger door and the head light is pulled out and broken on the bottom.
my question is how much can a caravan take for a hit is there any chance the structure is what took the most damage i have screws pocking threw the sheet metal from the out side (the bolts are from holding stuff on the inner fender from the under the hood. i got an appointment with geico tomorrow morning it has 186k miles and rust spots on the doog legs and the rockers have been patched before i am hoping it is not going to hurt the value of the van.
2002 Dodge caravan 186k transmission shifts hard when it is down shifting between 1 and second it needs breaks one or two ball joints front pads Passenger window motor idk if it is worth fixing.

 

I would think that the van at most was worth between $1500 to $2000 before the accident. If it were mine, I'd give it a nice sendoff to the junk yard or you could see if you can get something for it as is.
