We bought a used car a month ago and last week it was hit by a drunk driver while parked on our street. On Friday, we got a call that the frame was damaged. The car is still "driveable," however. What does framework damage actually mean and what kinds of questions should we be asking the mechanic before we decide to total it completely? We put 6k into the car and they are offering to pay us out at $5,500. We are broke and wondering if the car is still drivable with framework damage. Thanks guys.
