Possibly Totaled The G
 
So a good number of people know me here and this morning I crashed and looks like I bent the frame.

If its a total loss how does this factor into all the aftermarket parts Ive placed on it? Kinda strapped for cash so buying it back after a total loss may not be in my budget as well.

Any help is really appreciated. It's sunday so I wont find out what happens till tomorrow. (BTW no injuries, and just me and an unfortunate bus poll)

OH NOOOOOOO, Man that sucks. Im so sorry to hear this..:shakes head:

Good thing your ok, I would submit all after market parts to insurance, you never know. Keep us posted.

bummer sorry to hear. I've been told you can swap out parts if its totaled. Like give them your stock exhaust and you take back the aftermarket. Don't know how true that is though.

Thanks, Im just insanely happy my son wasn't in the car. There was a 1.5ft wooden power poll right next to where I hit. If I hit that the cop said they might have been pulling me out of the car rather than me stepping out on my own.

Okay so they will take aftermarket parts into consideration? That was a major concern for me.


Im thinking of straying away from nissan though. 335i is a possibility. Again, wont know anything till tomorrow.

Man sorry to hear. Glad your OK after that, everything else can be replaced ;)

Good luck with it

They may cover some of the aftermarket stuff if you've got receipts, but usually only a small amount. If you've got a lot of money in aftermarket parts, they usually require you to have additional coverage for them. You should be able to go up to the salvage yard and swap out the aftermarket stuff for the OEM stuff no problem.

Ill most likely do that with the wheels then. I don't have the OEM hood so i guess I have to take that hit. I can also take my HFC's since I have the OEMs. Man this whole thing is a headache lol.

Call them and ask before you start parting it out, but you should be ok.

Yea, for sure. I'd hate to part out and run into problems with my insurance company because of it.

In the future, ask them if they'll add additional coverage for aftermarket parts so you don't have anything to worry about.

Oh crap. She'll never fly again. Sorry, but you are OK and that's all that matters.

I wasn't even aware this was a possibility :(

HAHAHA! I knew I shouldn't have taken her too low to the ground!

Chuck33079 10-20-2013 08:33 PM

It depends on the company. A lot of insurance companies will happily sell you a rider for aftermarket stuff. Some won't.

SS_Firehawk 10-20-2013 08:45 PM

Man, I'm so sorry to hear about your car. I hope you get things sorted out. I'm in a situation where I have $20k in the car and USAA only covers 5k in aftermarket parts. I don't know what to value the car at to get proper coverage.
