Another Zinno bites the dust

[MR 325]

Sorry to see this. :(

You can likely buy it back for only a couple hundred dollars though. Make some money parting it.

this sucks, same thing happened to me, almost exactly. I really hate to see this, but I agree these things are pretty sturdy. Im glad to see everyone made it okay.

Talk to the insurance about removing add ons and swapping your own interior. They were offering to let me remove all I wanted as long as it was replaced by something else within a few days. But this was when the car was in my property and not some lot. Without affecting their offer.

Fellow 87 Zinno 325is driver here and I feel your pain. It's like these cars cars a magnet for bad drivers. I am always on high defense whenever I go for a drive. I usually try to avoid traffic lights and shopping malls.
Hope you stay in the game and don't let it get you down,

sorry to hear that man I know the feeling. Try and let the other insurance company know as soon as possible that you want to keep it, I was able to keep my 87 that got totaled for free, just because I let them know as soon as correspondence started that I wanted to keep the car. Also got more than I paid for her. You just have to complain a little when they tell you how much they would total you out for. Say its an old car and that no two are remotely alike anymore, claim it has no issues, etc. and ask for them to use the top priced comparisons because your car was a perfect example not some beater.... even if it is.

Sad day, hope you can get it back for cheap.

Late models are great but there is something else about clean diving boards. there are plenty of options on cl for late models also so you'll have some options.

You thinking of buying it back and using it as a parts car for the next one...

Not sure how much it will cost to buy back, but it might be time to upgrade to late model car

Find a crap e30 interior and swap it in.dont let the insurance take all the parts you've collected!

Not worth it, I'll get less money from his insurance and the drivers side is pretty messed up

Shit dude... Let me know if there are any parts you need or anything like that...

Thanks the unibody is done, it's a shame becuase the interior was perfect and I can't do anything about it, just let the insurance take it

As a Zinno '87 iS owner, it's sad to see one like this. Definitely glad you're okay though, and good luck with his insurance company.
