R.I.P. my baby...

[UncleBen]

My car is considered totalled. R.I.P. baby, you were amazing. I will miss you. *goes away and mourns, literally*

[NeedCAforS13]

damn dude that sucks...

[tinted]

again, sorry to hear

can't you buy it back?

[UncleBen]

Could, but insurance on a salveaged title car is insanely high, and even if I do get the frame re-bent to be correct, I could have front end problems still.

[nlzmo400r]

well i guess it could have been worse, atleast you werent hurt or anything, good luck finding a new 24o (assuming thtas what you're going to do?) what year are u looking for? and i bet u buy a 5spd this time eh?

[soilwork240sx]

sorry to hear about your loss bro. good and obvious idea would be to take what you can out of the car before its gone. i totaled a car a few years back and it was in our driveway after the wreck. so i went out there and stripped the sh*t out of it. hopefully you can do the same.

[UncleBen]

I am going to do my best. It still all depends on whether it gets ruled as my fault or hers. But I will definately keep everyone posted.

[Integra96LS]

Ben i feel your pain man.. me and u need to go out and mourn the loss of our 1st children

[Toahk]

I too have lost a 240, I feel your pain, but like I said man, chain and tree, chain and tree! bwuahahaha

[MasterMan]

dude that sux, im sorry.. but look on the bright side.. if it is her foult then u will get what ur car is worth right? If thats the case its worth around 4 or 5k correct? so.. get an S13 rolling chassie, and an SR and u will still have money left over.. and u will have a bad as_s car, plus u can get rims and such.. screw S14's S13's are for REAL MEN!

[Altiman94]

I would be pesturing ur insurance company to get as much money out of the car as possible so you can afford to purchase a nice car, maybe not another 240, but atleast something nice

[Cold_Zero]

Ben,When you find out what happens with the Insurance and the accident, let me know if I can be of any help. There are a few s-14's here that are for sale.

[Rockenreno]

so sad I hope you're able to replace her soon. I know you must feel like crap right now... I know I would...

[AZhitman]

Ben - I have some info for you on dealing with the insurance company... E-me or call me.

Roob has my celly#.

[Dano]

[slw240sx]

ben, buy it back , and part it out.

you got 5lug stuff 300zx brakes a good motor 5speed conversion LSD??? seats alot of people want. suspension parts wheels. you can make what you pay to buy it back and then maybe some more. plus they will give you the 3-5K for the car. you can get a nice set up for that much. or pay for college.

[MaineExport]

Part that old girl out Ben!! Keep her soul alive!!!

Sorry to hear about the loss though.... that sucks big

[nismokid]

soory to hear that, i know what its like to lose a 240 good luck finding another one

[PalmerWMD]

Fred..

[MaineExport]

Wait... only people who intend to buy the stripped parts can post in this thread..... right? Otherwise your opinion is useless and inappropriate....

No... that's not it... I'm confused. This damn head cold has me in the clouds....

[Cyberkreig]

I missed the first thread. So I'll say that i am REALLY sorry to hear about your car here instead.

[Charlie240sxt]

Sorry man I too have also lost a 240 93 with 5 speed with hicus that car is missed do what i did upgrade and if its your falt someone will buy that car hell you could fix it and it wont be that bad what happend

[UncleBen]

Thanks for all the condolences guys, it really does help me. As Rockenrero said, I feel like crap. :throwup Everytime I see a picture of her after she is wrecked I start to feel sick to my stomache. *sigh* But I will part it out if I can. I am going to strip the crap out of her and keep alot of it myself I hope. My 5lug hubs (for if I get a base model), my rims, my seats, everything I can. I have the front fender, headlight and corner lamp sold already, so I think I woulnt' have much problem parting it out. But we will see what happens. If the insurance company rules it as my fault, I am DEFINATELY going to be parting it out, because I will be left with nothing but a wrecked car and higher insurance bills.

AZ, I will email you as soon as possible.

[UncleBen]

Oh, and HECK NAW I AINT GETTIN NO S13 :pface

(if I can help it, heh)

[MaineExport]

Even if it's deemed your fault, they are still required to fix it. It will go as a claim against your policy, but they have to pay the replacement cost or fair market value (not sure which). That is assuming you have colission coverage, if not.... yeah... you're hosed.

[BadMojo]

Even if it's deemed your fault, they are still required to fix it. It will go as a claim against your policy, but they have to pay the replacement cost or fair market value (not sure which).

For most companies, in most states, the only thing fault determines is chargeability. I believe there are a few companies that still surcharge for accidents that aren't principally your fault (in a select few states), but that's the exception rather than the rule.

Depending on how fault ends up being determined and how your company is filed with the state Department of Insurance, you might not end up paying *anything* more in premiums, unless there's an unrelated rate increase or some other changes.

The method for determing the amount of money you'll get for your car will vary, as Maineimport mentioned, so read through your policy for the details.

Like Maineimport said, this is all assuming you were carrying Collision coverage. If not, unfortunately you're out of luck.

For anyone else out there, a good insurance agent should be able to write a policy that fits for *you*. It's not always easy to figure out what's the best policy for your specific situation.

[UncleBen]

Yea, i've only got liability. I wasn't paying my insurance, my dad was, since I paid for the car. I think if I get it fixed, or when I get another car, whichever, I am going to lookin into collision coverage and just pay the difference myself. I dont like only having liability.

[Dano]

Ben, anything i can do to help from here in KC i will, i told ppl at the meet today and we all feel for u and they all send their condolences:)

btw, give me 1st dibs on parts u cant use when u get the new S14 k?:D

-Dan

[UncleBen]

I think I have good news. I am definately keeping the car!!!!! At least thats the way it looks now. I have a guy that can pull the frame back out to perfectness. A friend did this to a 2003 WRX he bought with some massive front end damage. Now, you can't even tell the car was EVER wrecked. Its amazing, actually. So, hopefully thats whats gonna be goin on. I think I am staying OEM s14 front end, with hopefully a Greddy lip.
