These cars aren't really worth much btw... This post has been edited by samir0189: Sep 15, 2009 - 7:23 PM -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

were you at fault? usually you will have better luck if it isn't. depends on the adjuster too i guess. how much are they willing to give you? you can buy it back if you would really want to!

for me, it wasn't my gf's fault. Allstate was offering me 2700, i got them to go to 3000$ today. plus they are going to be paying storage at the shop at $25/day. they deducted for the car being in primer right now, -$130, but gave +$130 for the bodywork being completely flawless... 149k miles, GT, with manual trans. and leather. what did they offer you?
im still waiting to find out the buy back cost on mine. let us know how it goes. Erich |

i got rear ended. my celica was a 94 gt coupe, premium sound, leather, and 5spd. i got like $4,500... it had a reconstruction title on it back from the first owner... i got a 97 special edition and swapped out all my parts and dveb the black interior and 8 speaker set up... $3000 isn't aweful, but i know what you mean. talk to your insurance maybe they will help. you always have the option of buying the car back for a few hundred buck... best of luck ma!

It might be best for you to buy it back. I bought mine back and only thing that was totaled was the driver side door. They gave me 2800 which was after them taking out the 550 for me keeping the car. Then I only paid Maaco 1700 to fix the door and repaint the whole car...
So weight your options? The only thing is if you restore it go to a different insurance company... |

I had a motorcycle accident that wasn't my fault and insurance tried to screw me. I looked the adjuster strait in the eye, rubbed my neck, and told him I still hadn't seen a doctor. They wrote me a check for the full amount I was asking in less than 15 minutes.
