Accident

King14 · 01-30-2017, 03:08 PM

Hi everyone so over the last 3 months i have had 2 accidents in my Z first one both the front n back bumper was damaged including the undercarriage aswell. Second accident took the whole back all the things holding up the bumper were damaged. Insurance has paid over 27k in damages for it. What do you guys think time to get rid of it? Or continue to mod it

Get rid of it and get another. If you decide to sell later, the carfax will show 2 accidents and possibly drive buyers away.

I agree with mlsully. It would drive them away, and can't really blame them. Sorry for your luck. I'm actually surprised the insurance paid that much to get it fixed. I would think for that amount they would had totaled the car and give you a check to get another car, what year is your Z and what's the BB value?

Oh.. if I were you with your luck I'd stay away from any type of motorcycle. Perhaps a tank would be a good option

Anyhow, I do hope you do get another car!!!

Similar issue on my end.. 2 accidents and 1 ding in the quarter panel, however it wouldn't be worth to sell it if you still owe on it, I plan to hang on to mine till the day it dies to get the most out of it. I also will continue to mod it

There needs to be a study on what exactly it is about the Z-car rear end that makes them so invisible... It's like a right of passage to get rear-ended in a Z.

I bet if the Army put a Z-shaped body kit on an Abrams it would be the stealthiest tank ever made. :/

driving lessons perhaps, just a guess

It may not be OP's fault. 2nd accident definitely sounds like rear end collision. Let's not jump the gun here

Yeesh, 2 single-car accidents in 3 months? No bad weather or other extenuating circumstances?

Maybe it's time for a Prius.
