Wanna buy my coupe. It has a shiney stock exhaust!? hehe Actually, for some reason, i've been thinking about picking up a new sedan... I must be getting old.

 

Where I work, 80% repair damage, compared to the value of the car, will total it. Otherwise, it's worth repairing in the eyes of the insurance company. They will probably use a CCC report to affix a value for your car and compare that number to the repair estimate.

Just because it is wrecked doesn't mean it can't be fixed. My dad owned a body shop and at least 4 of my cars were total losses before he fixed them and they worked great.

 

you should grab a used E55 or something.. they are mid 30s for gently used and are beasts!

 

ya ive heard anywhere from 50-80%. it just seems like its already so close to that, i dont see why they arent totaling it but thats me. im supposed to hear from the adjuster today and then figure out what to do.

 

good luck boss

 

they're saying its only 60% of the total and they need 80% to total it. im waiting to hear back from the adjuster now so i can ask him more questions...

 

Damn it man, well at least you will have a sick g with all the parts you pick out

 

$14,000 = 85% of a $16,500 value. I suggest you request a $14,000 payment for the repairs, pay off the lienholder and sell off your old G whole or as parts. I suspect you can easliy get a few grand for what's left of it now. problem solved, new car time.

 

......isn't that a brand new motor in there?? that's worth a few grand right there

 

sorry 1 more update...

just talked to the adjuster and i told him i didnt feel like i wanted the car repaired with that much damage. hes having his salvage guy go get an estimate tomorrow. then i can just take that $ and the repair $ to pay off my loan and put a downpayment on something new. ill lose some of the stuff i have on the car but there are no major mods. and to be honest, its not worth the hassle to take off springs and sways for a few dollars. i just want to get this over with and move on.

ya thats what im working on. ill wait and see what they say tomorrow.

 

Lyndon, let me know if you wanna go car hunting Saturday. I'll be up at Atlantic Infiniti around 11am for 7500mi service maintenance.

 

But if you do want a few dollars in your pocket, ill buy the springs!!

 

true i already told rob what im looking for and hes going to find out when they get the 09s in. i can probably get a better deal on an 08 but the 7at just sounds dope. ill definitely need a ride in your car sometime.

sorry 1-2 hrs of my time just isnt worth it.

 

If you're set on AT, get the 09' 7AT for sure. Its a big upgrade.

We can ride out whenever...the Injens at WOT sound ill.

 

^^Exactly, other wise just save some $$ and get the 08. They really did not make any other significant upgrades.
