Keeping up to its original name

ok well i got off the phone with her insurance company. They asked me to take it to any body shop on Monday. I told them about M.O.B works and they said it was fine. They also said that ill get a rental for the day while they inspect the car. I'm meeting up with Miguel from M.O.B works tomorrow to see how much its going to cost to paint the whole car. I want to get the whole car painted under the carpets, inside the trunk, engine bay. ill pay for the rest of the body to get painted and let the insurance pay for the damages that the lady did.

wish me luck the insurance dose not screw me over!

Around here the cops will not respond to an accident call unless it is MAJOR, or if injury is involved. This situation illustrates why everyone should look at their insurance deductibles. Take your case, for example. If it costs, say, $1,000 to fix it why would you want to carry a $500 deductible on your auto insurance. In this lady's case, she may have several fender benders against her already and it ends up being a lot cheaper just to pay for yours out of pocket than getting her policy jacked up due to a claim. Fortunately, there are a lot of good used tailights out there and the bodywork you need is minimal.

Even worse, if it costs too much to fix you end up having her insurance carrier wanting to total your car in which case you end up spending way too much time on the phone with them working it out.

You might even try this. Just tell her you want $1,000 and you'll call it even. A lot of times people like that will be happy just to be done with it.

i called the body shop and they said that the insurance person said it was total. i called the insurance but they didnt pick up.

I'd raise hell with them

[AndrewSi]

that sucks man, you have a clean ride too!

[Toneloc5145]

That sucks. I am not surprised though, because the insurance people are quick to total a car without looking throughout it. When my car was in a minor accident, less damage than yours even, the insurance tried to total it. My dad put up a fight and they looked at the inside and how clean the whole car was, and those two combined is what made them decide to fix it instead of totaling it.

The problem is that people don't want to fix old cars, even if they are in great shape. The insurance people want you to buy a new car so you pay them more per month to insure it, and the people at the body shop don't want to work on older cars because they're used to working on newer cars and are no longer familiar with cars like ours. I would dispute this if I was you because that damage is not enough to total it.

[lostforawhile]

cheese if you lived here,i would fix it for you. see how much the insurance company would pay without totaling it. sometimes they will do that,then fix it your self.

[A18A]

wow that sucks, time to go on a rampage

[Acid X]

WHAT! Poor cheese! that car was great dude.. I say let them total it, but keep the car (they'll take around 300$ from you total cash amount i think) and swap that bitch! lol

[lostforawhile]

that really isn't that much damage,just get it fixed,the body shops just want an arm and a leg to fix something. as much history as that car has here,i'm sure we can get some three geezers to chip in as far as help and parts wise. like i said if you were here i would fix that in a couple of hours

[race12001]

yea cheese keep the car buy it back or what ever it takes i think we can come up with the stuff and when mine got hit it only costed $56 to ship it off ebay it can be fixed

[Civic Accord Honda]

id send u my tail lights if thay wernt scatched up to hell

[frantik]

so if the insurance says it's totaled and you can't convince them otherwise does that mean you have to accept that and end up with a salvage title?

how much would it be for them to fix just the body, not the trunk lid or tail lights? you could get those at a jy for cheaper than they're gonna charge to fix it. if you can't find a nice laurel blue one you could get a nice random color one and have it painted black maybe

[Hazwan]

That sucks

[lostforawhile]

cheese what year was yours again,i can get you the tails i'm sure,i'm broke right now,so i'll have to let you know how much,but he has about ten three geez in the yard right now. i go there all the time so i'm sure i can get a much better deal then in cali. plus probably a trunk but the shipping would be high.

[Cheeseburger]

still nothing from her insurance company. but no matter what i am not letting them take the car from me or letting them give the car a salvage title.

when i get a hold of them ill try to convince them that the car dose not deserve to get totaled. Ill try to see what they are willing to fix either just the body damage and ill put in the trunk and lights.

I'm hoping i have the same luck with these bastids. also if they dont budge ill try to get the lady that hit me to convince them to fix my car. and ill probably need you help too guys by emailing the insurance company and letting them know about this car
