What made me say FUCK on Saturday.....

[Fish]

Happened right in front of my work Saturday morning. I turned onto the side street and was heading straight. The next intersection a lady in a Acura TSX wanted to make a left, but has to wait since I have no stop sign. Well, that didnt stop her. Literally.

I called my insurance and was supposed to have an adjuster come out today to inspect it. They assured me it is a 99% chance of being totaled due to "previous damage" and the age of the car. Trust me. I know this song and dance.

The other insurance company just called me this morning and said they can take care of me and the car instead of going through my insurance. Plus I get a free rental. So now I have to wait 2-4 days for the inspector.

So yeah.........FUCK.

Thats pretty shitty :sad:

whats next fishy.. i got like 72 other cars for sale... lemme know

 

[Fish]

This car is nice and I do enjoy the interior comforts better then GPs, 97-03s anyway, but it has been cursed since I bought it. Hell, the ordeal of buying it lead to me totaling another car.

I dont know whats going to happen. There are plenty of thoughts rattling around. I sure can afford payments up to $300 a month, so GTOs are a possibility. Ive also looked at Avalanches, 5.3 Trailblazers, F-150s. Only issue is, all of these are gonna make my total monthly payment go up, and throw my plan of being debt free by early next year out the window.

Not totally sure on what to do.

then buy a cheap car until you get debt free...


no need to impress anyone.

I liked the gto or hemi magnum ideas you had.

Or just fix that pile up on the cheap and pocket the rest of the cash

You are starting to speak my lingo.

Now if I could only find Dasfinc style deals. $50 worth $2000.

This idea poped in my head as well. Id have to wait to see what the insurance claims it as. Im buying it back regardless. If its just a spindle, trailing arm, and other suspension shit, Id buy it back and leave the shit dented up.

 

[syP]

how much you lookin to spend?

i got a nice camry with your name on it.. hahah

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

That's what I'd do. It's not like you'd get a ton of cash selling it before it got smashed. I'd fix it up with used parts and drive it into the ground. I've got some stock trailing arms you can have. My dad found 'em the other day in his garage.

 

[Fish]

Ugh. My sister is trying to offload her 97 Camry onto me for $800.

Ill find out whats going on Joel. It will be at least 2 days before the adjusters got here. They were kinda perplexed that the car is at my house instead of a shop or salvage yard. I told them I had progressive tow it here in case it gets totaled, cause I would buy it back. So that would eliminate a tow out of the deal.

 

[syP]

but but but.. mine is a 98

and its MAROON... like your regal.. hahah

 

[Fish]

I also would have to have the frame inspected. If its bent, its not worth fixing IMO.

FWIW, I hate the color red.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'll have him hang on to them anyways. Any idea on kbb on the car? Kid at work had his park ave. Backed into right at the door/fender and they gave him like $3k. He bought it back; replaced the strut and tie rod for like $60 and still drives it. He was gonna use the cash for a downpayment on another car.

 

[Fish]

KBB is 3K ish. I still owe about 1700 on it.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

What insurance do they have?

 

[Fish]

safeco

Never even heard of them, however, I wont feel so bad arguing with them over my insurance company.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Well good luck. Sounds like worse case scenario is it's totaled and you pay it off and get some $$. I think the kid with the park avenue bought it back for like $600. I think it was a percentage of the kbb.

 

[The Broken Regal]

same damage but on the passenger side for me, same components destroyed... ben with the custom turbo blue regal from IN had his shit totalled on a 98 with the same look as yours

sorry fishy

 

[Fish]

That kinda sucks to hear. Like I said, Im a mix bag of how I feel.

Here are a couple more pix. I have the nice fancy DSLR, but I still use my damn phone sometimes.

Enterprise should be bringing the smallest fucking rental car known to man sometime today too.

 

[smug]

sell it to me for cheap
