:( .... my poor baby... hit by a truck...

[1vngal]

Ohhhh mike, it's worse than you described. It was just the other week you were here at my house and she was sooooo perfect, and she just met Ruby and now.... Ohhhhhh.....I think I'm gonna cry. I was so impressed with her when you were here.

The last pic is where the car was parked when it got hit... The first pic is where it ended up...

The cops got me to move it when they came

write off bud.

once its does structual damage like that it starts gettin expensive.

youll find the wheel well will be bent
rear aurter will need replacing
will need to go on a rack to pull the bottom half section out.
also the left hand side will be out aswell from the impact.
new parcel shelf.
new roof rear pillar mounts.

easy $7,000.
which well exceeds the 75% value of a car to be written off.

Oh.. as for the parcel shelf... I didnt pay much attention to it.. but I think it looks like that because the road is kind of on an angle so it might look crooked...

Also... my cd stacker along with my 10 cds are... well.... there was nothing left of it as u can see...

 

[MikesVT]

How much would I get for it??

My uncles VS, they gave him 7,000 about a year and a half ago and it was a stock exec...

Im hoping for at least 13,000 for it.... I know im asking a bit much but...

Also, rear drivers door wont open... but i think thats coz of the rear quarter panel...

The tow truck guy reckons its gonna be a fine line between being repaired or not.. he thought it could be... but I'd rather a pay out I think..

nicely spotted!!

Yeahh I hope so too ey... It just sucks... I had my first car for a whole year and one month! She was sposed to last me till the end of my p's!

 

[krazyboris]

Ughh....so sorry man.....It's never a good thing when a truck and a car meet, never....Dont let anybody try and give you that silver lining crap either, if she was your baby, she'll never be replaced, no matter what you buy next. You will learn to love another so to speak, but it is differant, belive me. Best of luck with the insurance, and I hope they dont screw you over.

my vn was in a prang 6 months after i got my licence a guy in a VL side swipped me.

was heart breaking as she was a mint 5spd with low ks

got paid out but didnt think it was worth fixing so i done a bodgy n replaced the bare nesessaties drove it around for a further 6 months sold it to my best mate and he just recently wrote it off

 

[Grennan]

Do you know how much she is insured for?

I know where your comming from with the prefering a pay out because it just wont feel the same. If there is structural damage it will never feel like the same car.
