Yea..it depends on how much the repair cost is....and any underlying damaged.

She said they go by 80% of value.
That would be about $10K+ in damage. :(

Also note...all the door gaps will have to be reset....they are ALL off(driver side open and passenger side closed).

A short track move for sure.
 
Yea the cosmetic damage isn't too too bad, but if the frame was jacked it will affect the car big time. I am hoping you get what you deserve on it, but I will settle for what I put in as my vote :sign:
 
Well gary...glad to see you back and posting, first off. Second, I doubt they will total it. Unless like I said, the airbags popped on the inside. If they didn't, and your seat belt cylinders didn't discharge either, they will probably fix it for something like $9k.

When my maggie got totalled it was only the front driver side quarter panel that got hit. I thought for certain they would fix it cause it didn't look too bad, I figured new quarter panel, hood, front bumper, engine type stuff like radiator and air box, etc. But they totalled it. I was told that once the entire dash airbags go and the seat belt cylinders go, its pretty much done. All that went on mine...but I got lucky...they basically paid off what I owed and cut me a check for some extra. I think I only had the car all of 6 months though.

I'd have to agree, when I crashed my t-bird a couple years back it was way more damage and it was barely totaled... Best of luck!
 
After seeing the pics I doubt if they will total it. Once they start fixing and find more damamge they will still fix it. That is what happened to me. My car was a lot worse but when they first looked at the they were like it can be fixed but three months later I beleive they put over $3,000 more into the car then it was worth not to mention my car rental. Good luck with everything.
 
Ok...who wants to look at the list?

TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS $11226.51

Now....since I've been a little groggy(sp?) and my intent was about what number the initial estimate would be....that's the number we are using!
Now....since I've been a little groggy(sp?)...we'll also get something out the the one closest without going over the:
"NET COST OF REPAIRS $10726.51" - that's minus the deducible!

I'll look back at the list and see who I owe.


Now who knows how I can ask them to put in new parts instead of used/reman'd!

Shit it looks like we have alot of fellas in the wrong field of work. There were quite a few guys right on the money with the costs.
 
I dunno gary, not sure how to get them to use new parts. I think you can request it, but it used/reman is available and your policy allows for that, I think you have to let them use those parts.

I suppose you could offer to pay the difference between used and new...but I doubt you would want to..
 
OK...so I'm late!!!

DC's will be posted as soon as I get them.

Thanks for playing.

Thank you Gary, I got mine today. It was a very pleasant surprise, I'd actually forgotten about this contest. I just got done doing some cyber sleuthing to try and pinpoint the mad bomber who blew up my mailbox!!! Then I saw this thread bumped and the lightbulb went on.

Thanks again!
