On my way home on thursday i was turning a corner hand hit a patch of gravel and my front tires lost traction because the roads were also wet, i ran straight into a curb and shattered my oil pan, broke both engine and tranny mounts, fucked up my steering column, and destroyed my alignment. My insurance company is totaling my car, and despite the evidence ive shown them of putting 2 grand worth of repairs in the car in the past month, and the receipts for the cup kits, exhaust, and chip, they are probably gonna fuck me over because these cars blue book for like 1600. I bought the car for 3500. I'll probably be lucky to get 2500 for the car..

Talk with Lance (Lance Racing) about the value of the car. I know he has talked with insurance companies as a 'BMW Expert' to help give proper value to cars that were wrecked.sigpicComment

The blue book value of the e30 is totally unfair, for a car that is becoming more and more rare, and more and more sought after, and you can hardly find in running order for 1600. Fuck insurance companies, a total scam, I HATE them.

Fight it, just recently e30:) got a good amount back for his early model. (I KNOW it was upwards of 2000) and stress the maintenance and what not, not modifications.
Also tell them how much you paid, pull off craigslist ads for cars as clean as yours. Just fight, you should get more than 2500 from what I've heard. Also, see how much it is to buy back the car and part out stuff. (Like the cup kit)
Sorry to hear.Originally posted by z31maniacComment

Thats why I have the excell spreadsheet with 27,000 dollars of work done to my car over the last half of its life. Didn't e30fourlife total his and get like, 8k back from insurance because of the buttload of receipts he had? 3250 isn't too much to have into your car. Granted you should get more than 1600, or probably even 2250. Just saying that 2250 for 3250 in receipts isn't bad. If i total my car, I know I won't even get 10k back... Don't feel, "lucky," but don't feel ripped off either. You can buy the car back and part it and probably be left with enough to purchase another decent e30. Good luck, insurance companies are a nightmare to deal with.sigpicComment
