Is this fixable/worth fixing? [R3V content]

[camshaftgsxr]

right.

Once the deal is done, the car becomes theirs. you may have the OPTION to keep it/buy it back, but once they pay out on it for a total, it becomes theirs.

i was right, they have to cut you a deal to take your car, you dont have to accept it their deal if you dont want to, but it doesnt matter since he got his money and kept his car already.

thats what i said lrn2read

Donate to a junk yard????? No such thing. They will sell it to a junk yard. and junk yards will give them minimum dinero. They will sell it back to you for $400, to save transport cost. The junk yard will only give them $200. Insurance companies research evry detail BEFORE settlement.

cali laws suck. what right does the INS co. have to take your car? fuck them.

That's really odd, that your uninsured benefit would be that low. Did you check the contract?

[Rsully70sev]

I didn't have collision coverage, otherwise I would have gotten more. The other driver didn't have insurance, zero assets, etc. so it had to fall under my uninsured motorist policy, which was covered up to $3,500. Yea, blows.

I'm still taking him to small claims for the remaining value, but he's a dead beat. I'll be surprised if I see any money out of him.

[nmlss2006]

That would be very fixable, were there any body shops left that want to actually do work. As it is, I doubt you can even talk anyone into working on it, unless the situation is very different from here.

looks like the shock tower did move, time to browse craigslist

[Kershaw]

they gave you $3500 for that? haha. someone's getting a bonus this year, and it's not you.

they gave me $3100 for my beat to shit eta i paid $1300 for 7 months prior. the damage looks almost identical.

screw uninsured motorists coverage, use your insurance. that's what it's there for. that's easily a $8000 e30.

[nrubenstein]

Uh, you guys see to have a reading comprehension issue.

[nebulous123]

so you got $3500 and you don't get to keep the car....I would personally ask them what it would cost to buy it back. See what kind of deal they give you. if you could swindle $3000 and get to keep the car I would do that. Parting it out alone will make that $$$ + some.

Then you could use the extra cash to buy a super clean sell and swap the parts over if you wanted. or part the car out and take that cash to get something new.

the worst that happens is they say no they wont do that or they want a fortune to buy back. i bet they will sell it back, insurance company does not want that car and would probably be happy to sell it back to you and not have to deal with it. they are prob just going to donate it to a junkyard anyways.

You don't have to accept the deal, legally they can't just take your car. They have to buy it from you

right.

Once the deal is done, the car becomes theirs. you may have the OPTION to keep it/buy it back, but once they pay out on it for a total, it becomes theirs.

[Pantless Spency]

buy a new shell, swap all the goodies over.

[nomansland92]

The car looks very clean, it would be a bummer to see such a nice car go to waist. If it were me i'd probably see if it were still straight and if it was i'd do my best to fix it my self.

[camshaftgsxr]

You don't have to accept the deal, legally they can't just take your car. They have to buy it from you

[scottinAZ]

seems like the insurance company got the best of you! They can't take YOUR car!

Ummmm yes they can. Once they cut a settlement on it, the car legally becomes theirs.... at least in every state that I have had to deal with it in

As long as the shock tower isnt moved, the frame rail bent, its totally fixable. Depends on your level of dedication
