I can't say that I've ever been a petrol-head, I've always thought of a car being something that gets you from point A to point B and that's all I needed. Ever since making the switch from a piece of **** Mitsubishi Magna 88 to a VS Commodore Executive SII '97, I've loved every drive I make. That was until January 6th, 2006.
What happened? I was driving home from Brisbane with my family (wife, daughter and brother-in-law) and as I pull up to a red light I get smashed into, not once but twice by a truck. What an asshole! Funnier thing is, later that night when I rang the guys' boss, he said that his driver wrote and signed a statement which said that I claimed that I was at fault for the accident, ha! Never have I seen such a dodgy attempt to escape an insurance claim, especially since he didn't even get a scratch on his truck due to his big-ass bullbar on the front.
So the entire rear of the car is crushed and there are minor problems with the two rear doors. The car has since been deemed a total loss. Damn it, I only bought the car 3 months ago and since I've been financing it, I still have to pay it off even though nothing was my fault at all. Now all I get out of it is market place value and compensation for my wife's injury. This is crap, the driver doesn't even own the truck so he's laughing all the way and I'm left to pay off a car that I no longer have.
:b:
Anyways, anyone have an idea of what I'd get for market value? I'm guessing maybe $5,000 - $6,000. It was well kept, it was an ex-government car, never missed a service and only had about 100,000km on the odometer.
Here are some pics of my (dead) car...
