G/f hit a tree pretty hard with her new 550. Dropped it off at the shop, they said the engine is about 3mm from where it should be and they are going to try and pull the frame bac kinto place but if they can't its pretty much a writeoff. Even then theres a couple G's of parts to replace (bulkhead etc).
I'm no mechanic, but 3mm doesn't sound like a whole lot. What is the real world impact of having it out of alignment that much? If it just tracks a tiny bit off she'd never notice, but if it means it could snap in half at any second of course i don't want to take any chances.
If its not bad and not a safety issue i'd just as soon not spend another 7 grand on a new one.
