4th July nightmare :(((( Wrecked Z

ts-c63 · 07-06-2012, 12:28 PM

My worst nightmare came true on 4th July. My car was parked at a house party when at around 11:30 pm some kid comes flying down the road and smashes into my car!! My Z is not even 2 months old with less then 3000 miles on the clock. These past 2 days have been so stressful I cant even look inside my garage cause I know my Z is not in there. I busted my a$$ for over a year to be able to get my dream car to just have some kid take it away from me. If you guys can take a look at the pics and tell me what you think, do you think it should be totaled? From what i can see is that the entire rear suspension is gone, both axels are snaped, 3 rims are ruined brake lines gone and the obvious body parts... thank god for insurance though.

I'm so sorry to see that. Good luck, man.

the problem is, being brand new, despite the subframe (and possibly more) damage, it probably won't be totaled. the good news is that shops with digital frame machines are better than ever at fixing cars damaged like this. hope it goes well for you, sorry it happened man

If that were my car, I would want it to be totaled.

Even with the sophisticated digital frame machines and high tech whatever, that Z will never drive or be the same.

Take the loss, be grateful you weren't in the car when it happened, get paid by insurance, and buy a new car.

Sorry to hear, bro. That really sucks. Hope everything gets sorted out for you.

homeryansta · 07-06-2012, 12:35 PM

uh.... I wouldn't want a car that has been hit. Take the check and run. What kind of car was this kid driving?

HKYStormFront · 07-06-2012, 12:37 PM

if you do keep the car, make sure you get a depreciated value compensation (check) for the difference in value between a clean title and one showing a wreck in it's history

Not all states allow you to claim this.

I agree, this is great advice. This user must be full of wisdom.
