My story......

I just read the original post... Wait a second.... WAIT A SECOND!!!! Now I'm pissed... I'm pissed.

The whole incident was your fault, you totaled a perfectly good Z, injured other people, and you receive a check for the car that's more than what you paid for it? It's like they rewarded you!!!!

What kind of world is this? And now you can put a down payment for the car? I'm assuming you didn't put a down payment for the car you totaled? That's ridiculous...

Ridiculous. Ludicrous... How the hell?

Yes it was his fault, but it was still an ACCIDENT. If he was speeding, driving recklessly, drinking texting etc he should be called out, but **** happens. I totaled a brand new Explorer Sport Trac when I lived in Alaska. It had less than 2k miles on it. I hit black ice on the highway and it rolled numerous times. Even though it was "my fault" it was an accident and I got 100% of the money back that I paid for it. That's why we have insurance!

Oh, and yes, I did put a down payment on the original Z....I had a Tiburon for trade-in (fully paid off) and got $5000 for that and I also put another $5000 on a credit card for a total down of $10000.

With all due respect, I think somewhere along the line you missed the point of insurance.

I am sorry to say, but you have no clue what you are talking about. That is the WHOLE point of the insurance. You make a mistake, they pay for it, your premium goes up.

Exactly and the ins will probably go way up due to the other cars needing fixing and the injuries his ins has to pay for. Thats why I ALWAYS have full coverage. You never know. Just glad the others were OK. Thats the biggest fear, possibly killing someone else.

Did your insurance co settle with the other drivers yet? I have a buddy who was rear ended and the driver who rear ended him won't discuss a settlement until he's no longer having his back pain and headaches.

Good Luck and enjoy the new Z..just not too much.

Yes, I did have GAP on the car. I selected every possible plan on this car.....never did before but glad I did this time. However, since I had such a good deal, GAP didn't come into play. As far as the other drivers, I believe the driver with the muscle and bruises is still hanging out there since he elected to get an attorney. The driver with the broken pelvis is home but in physical therapy. I was told he will make a 100% recovery...thank goodness!

im sorry to hear that man

semtex · 05-03-2009, 07:27 PM

Glad you're okay. Kinda makes you appreciate waking up each day all the more, doesn't it?

BamBam · 07-31-2009, 09:31 PM

How did you get your Z for 6,000 below invoice?? I'm assuming you're not counting trade-ins, etc.

Acepro · 08-01-2009, 11:48 AM

How fast were you going?

kailua · 05-08-2010, 11:40 PM

Wow, that is crazy. I am glad you are ok.

fullmonty · 05-09-2010, 12:44 AM

Wow talk about an epic bump. Extreme I've seen pics of your yellow Z but never this thread. All I can say is wow. I've been first due on a number of accidents less serious then this and been the last person to see the driver alive. The Z can take a pretty good hit and remain intact.
