Spada33 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I am F*@ken spewin, A few days a ago I was drivin home from work on Erindale Road (Hamersley) when some nob went thru a Give way Sign and fully F@#kd up the front end of my car!!! The engine was undamaged (besides the radiator) although a whole new front end was needed so the quote to repair was $20,000 ($5k of this was for the airbags which both deployed!). The Insurance Coy has written the car off although the salvage on it is a mere $8k. Considering the engine is totally fine and it is a Grade 4 SII - I was really surprised that it will be salvaged for so little... When I find out what wrecking coy has bought it, I will post it on here as the car is immaculate inside & out and guys who are searching 4 parts may be interested. Thanks also to the guy who stopped @ the accident scene in the Black 33 to see if I was OK...I am pretty sure he is on these forums and I have seen him on a Perth Performance Cruise...

NO_RSPECT Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 spada let me know what insurance company it was with bro and I will find out which auction yard it is going to, dont worry about the salvage amount its not all that important its the market that drives the price up hmm unless it has already been auctioned and a wrecker has bought it already mostly the salvage value comes from a salvage valuator Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16961-my-car-is-a-write-off/#findComment-350594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kichigai Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hope you're alright. Did you have a medical check-up? Sometimes you feel the effects a couple of days later i.e. back pain, muscular aches and pains etc. Also, its best to have a medical record of the incident for insurance purposes.

MrGTST Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hey that was me that stopped that night..... I remember as I heard the accident from my house ( I was leaving around the same time as the crash to go get fuel ). Looking at the accident I thought something like that must of happened.... I knew then it was going to be a write off looking at the damage.... As long as your ok, I guess thats the main thing. Still its very sad to see a car that you put soo much time and effort into destroyed before your eyes... On a side note, I have been wondering .... Do you have a sister named Melissa???

Spada33 Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Thanks for the concern guys... b005t, I am havin a look around now 4 a new car, as my settlement cheque is $28k I might look at adding a few extra $$ and gettin a 32 GTR. NO_RSPECT, Wrecker has already snapped it up, I will find out tomorrow who it is & let u know(Insurance Co was CGU) GTS-4OrCeD, The airbags are amazing, I was only travelling between 60-70ks and as soon as impact occurred they exploded with such pressure that there are all crack marks in the windscreen where the bags hit. The gas that inflates them nearly choked me... MrGTST, Thanks for stopping and seeing if I (& the car) was alright. The noise must have been pretty loud hey Yeah my sister is Melissa, you went to Warwick SHS hey? Nice lookin car u got there mate! memphis, Gearbox is good as gold. I always used Redline Oil in it...
