Juan,

What's your insurance coverage, and what policy do you have on personal injury?

Does the other guy have insurance? Make sure to tell your insurance company all about your injuries so they can provide any assistance in the meantime. Find a personal injury lawyer while that happens.

 

Cars can be replaced people can't

Feel better fast Juan

 

O man not you WTF???? I hope you get better.
poky says hi and she hopes you get better too.

 

oh **** Juan!...sorry to hear man ...get better soon!

 

Thanks guys,

I got a lawyer -- we gonna take them to the cleaners.....The dude was driving for a cab company so we getting all of them.

I have full coverage insurance so im good -- my hospital stuff is all being paid for and they gave me Valium for the pain so im feeling awesome right now.

I spoke with the insurance company they said by the description i gave them its at a 75% loss and that most likely it will be a total loss since so much other stuff has to be replaced.

I didnt even count the airbag/dash fix, sensors, seatbelts....crazy

 

well at least you got valium.. HAHA

good luck man. and let us know what you're getting next

 

Good luck again, and take some extra valium before you leave :D

 

sorry to hear dude.

everyone said my car was fixable but my insurance company totaled it anyway.. parts+labor add up FAST.





that little bit was $12k in damage, not including labor.

that was my first rx8 btw, and I got another :P

 

Dude that's how my car looks!!!!

Plus i got aftermarket parts/cf hood which is 700 alone on my **** and my steering is messed up and both airbags went off.

Sucks so hard....gonna get a bmw or a 07-08 acrua TL-S

 

Unless you had an aftermarket clause the insurance company does not care about aftermarket parts. I had to strip down my car and go back to stock and sell them because otherwise they were gonna junk my car with them without compensating me for them. I was happy either way, they gave me $17,000 for that car. Then I sold of my aftermaket parts for an extra $3,500.

I'd get a 370z .

 

Whatever you do dont get a E46 M3. or else we'll have the same car AGAIN lmao.

 

I just sent you a bunch of parts too, that sucks bro. Wish you the best.

 

Wow that really sucks man.
Atleast you are alright!
And get an E46 M3 They rev high and sound nice too.

 

Sucks to hear bro

Get well soon!

 

Juan, you should check into what Al did. It could net you some extra cash also rofl

 

Juan, sorry to hear that your car got totalled....at least you are getting better, and please do the cahek about your neck and your back....that's the biggest problem of accident...



don't listen to OMAR, save your money, get E46 cheaper, and got the name...if omar gets one, then, you guys race again, but this time E46 vs E46 instead of rx8...

by the way, since my pray for you, don't forget to take all the afterarket that you can take out, so you can get money back, little bit, liike what AL did to his car.
i got the dibs for exhaust.......
feel better man
steven

 

 

Well its ******* dumb cause this should all be taken care of by the other insurance company THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!

My insurance are being ********* with me right now -- they want to repair my car talking about everything can be fixed.....They just wanna save money if the repair is like $500-$1000 less than value of the car they going to want to repair it

Repair est are going to be WAY over the value of the car and no i don't have aftermarket clause but since this wasn't my fault the other party should be covering that ****!

Anyone know any good bodyshop that are expensive as hell and do great work? Insurance is trying to make me put the car is some junk bodyshop (one that cost less than a normal one but they prob do shitty work but it keeps their insurance cost down) -- **** that

 

I spoke with my friend, and he says the DMV placed a law into effect that prevents car repair shops from overcharging for repairs. The repair shops have to file all insurance claims through taxes now. You can try my friend's place though, I went there for my repairs earlier this year when I got my car into the accident. Do you have any estimate for the damage?

Check your insurance fine print. Usually, if the cost of damage is over 75% of the market value (go by KBB), you can opt to have it totaled.

*edit*
Is there a police report?

 

you gotta get a lawyer man.. don't fight your insurance company by yourself.

 

You should be going though the other persons insurance company not yours. Do not go through your insurance company since it was not your fault.

 

1. You can take YOUR car, for Repairs wherever YOU want. Don't let them tell you otherwise.
2. From my past experience, you go through your insurance, and they will sue the opposing guys insurance for the money.
3. Aftermarket will not be covered. In many cases the shop you work with will have no problem putting aftermarket on the car instead of OEM, and in many cases they profit more that way.
4. You can request multiple estimates, and use this as the basis for totaling your vehicle (Go with the highest estimate) if this is what you want.

Nonetheless, you feelin any better?

 

My lawyer said to go through my insurance company and the other insurance company will pay for everything when they conclude that he was at fault for running the stop sign.

So my insurance is being dicktards but im gonna fight with them and let them know they should be contacting the other party and not ******* with my car.

Right now im taking my car to:
Sports Car & Classic Ltd
519 E 73RD St, New York, NY

I have to pickup the police report tomorrow and it has all the other drives information along with his insurance information and my witnesses and reports so ill send that to my insurance aswell.

Repair cost without lifting the hood and checking for engine damage or frame damage is $7500(both headlights not included in that price) which isn't bad but then again this is a cheap hole in the wall bodyshop.

When i go to my own bodyshop its going to be way more cause i want the job done right....I dont want my car totaled but if its fucked up to the point where its not right then i dont want it.

 

You definitely should be going through your company - they tend to get pissed off if you sidestep them. Make sure to read the police report, if it places blame in any way (i.e. car B struck car A), that is the key to convincing the insurance company that the other car was at fault.

Can you post, or PM me your car info and the breakdown of the cost? Did you have HID's? If you did, those guys are a grand a piece, which can help to make a serious chunk.

Again, check your insurance policy booklet. Most insurance companies provide a "total" option, and they cannot force you to repair if you want to total. I don't know what your extent of damage is exactly, but it may or may not be able to be repaired to the original feel.

Now, after saying that, mine suffer some frame damage after I got in my accident. It got repaired extremely well, I can barely notice any difference before and after.

 

holy ****.. a grand a piece? my HID's cost like.. 70 bucks for the pair shipped. hahaha
