When is officiallyl clased as KIA? and you can make a claim?
Dont wanna be a wet blanket but it think after this long it would be best if it was found around a tree some place, written off. That way you dont get back a car with bits ripped off ciggarett burns in the seats, bad smells and god know a seriously thrashed engine (if it didnt have that already). Sure its gonna take some time to get it back to where it was but they have to give you a car thats the same as when it got stolen. Im hoping you put all your mods on your policy.
Hopefully you will still have some stuff salvageable out of it, like the stereo and some engine parts which are easily ripped out and replaced with the original parts before you give it to teh insurance company. Best you can hope for buddy.
Really blows im sure. What are you drving in the meantime? ill sell u a bunky corrolla for 600 if you like, a mate offered it to me for that and its worth twice that i reckon i was gonna buy it for that and resell it but looks like u might be able to use it more than me. He just wants it off the lawn and knows he will make a loss but cant be bothered. Just got rebuilt so it shouldnt die on ya. Offer stands.
