Stagea Stolen Tonight-magill

[-RBD2-]

I've been told by just cars that the ca will go into there yard for assessment after it's realised from the police yard

how the f**k are they going to know whether my engine or trans is rooted?

Or can I get it towed to the workshop that knows the car and has worked on it before?

I'm a total noob at this process,any advice would be ace

[MattR]

uhuh, thats what i was saying before, it sucks from what i was saying before they wont know condition of all the driveline etc, they might pay you out for the damage but you might get it back and drive it for a day or two (if your lucky) before something goes bang. you Seats etc were they listed as extra's or just standard? if standard you wont be covered for them.

sorry mate but it really does suck

[Luke_ENR34]

When my brothers ute got car jacked the insurance company got all oil tests done to make sure the engine was ok. Make sure it gets sent to a gearbox place where they can pull the gb out and have a look. Keep fighting with insurance until your happy.

Good luck

[BIT SUS]

ahh, this is sounding all too familiar... *sigh*

....Sorry to hear Rod - glad the car is still in once piece tho

Quentin from Just Cars is the assessor, he is pretty chilled about getting cars repaired. I had mine towed directly from the impound yard to Morpowa, where it was inspected. They leak tested, compression tested and pressure tested the engine, sussed out all the ins and outs, and obviously repaired the broken bits. Best give Quentin a call, and ask for his advice, but I would highly suggest getting the car towed to a reputable workshop for a full once over before anything.

Also, Quentin was happy for me to supply quotes and parts and to assist with the the repair process, which sped things up a bit: ie: I went and dropped my rims off to get repaired, then off to get new tyres fitted, and returned them to Morpowa while the gearbox was being rebuilt, to save some time.

Hope to see the stag back on the road soon

Nigel.

ps: PM me if you need help with anything, I know exactly what you are going through.

[-RBD2-]

Thanks Nigel,I might give you a buzz tomorrow for a chat

the car still hasn't been printed and looked at, so even tho the coppers have it I can't go see it,which is really frustrating

hopefully Wednesday?

From what I gather just cars have said once it's released it will be towed to their assessment yard for a once over?

I don't know what the f**k is going on..

[-RBD2-]

Stagea is a total write off

went to their yard yesterday to write out a list of damage I could see

one of the 260rs skirts was snapped in half,interior is f**ken toast

think I'm sad,but at the same time an inspector found a roll of mediswabs that the junkies use to wipe needles with

be f**ked if I was ever going to put my baby boy in the back of that car again

f**ken scumbags

big ups to everyone that's been supportive,had offers from a few people on here for lifts around town,had an offer to borrow someones spare daily,shit like that

got a good little community here fellas,love your work

peace out

[Damo_R34]

Yeah its actually good to hear its too f**ked for you to keep it, I doubt id wanna go near a car i owned if it got whored around as much as yours did. Hopefully everything goes sweet with the insurance company, which it seems like it probably will.

[Nightcrawler]

Glad to hear it is all over Rodney, and I am actually glad too it is a write-off. Who knows how long it would have taken to fix, and it would NEVER have been the same car again. My only hope is they found some blood in the car meaning the scumbags hurt themselves in the accident (and for DNA evidence).

Hope the insurance company are very kind to you and you get an excellent payout! You are lucky that the car market is so terrible at the moment - there are some really nice cars out there for VERY cheap prices, so happy shopping!

[CRoNic...]

Whoa that needle thing is really, really f**ked.

Time to move onto bigger and better things, though

[Volk34]

+1 f**ked needle!

Glad it’s all sorted out, hope the insurance company look after you and pick up something new n taste to start a new project

like cronic said bigger and better things.

[-RBD2-]

Think I might go smaller and better

can't go past 4wd turbo combo...if you see what I'm getting at

there was a old chap there yesterday who's sole job was to inspect cars that come In for needles and drugs

from his info,1 in 3 stolen cars will have needles in them

that's f**ked up,makes me feel sick

[Big Fella]

glad to hear the ordeal is over mate! Might have to keep an eye on which wreckers it goes to for us Stagea Owners.

Good luck with the car shopping.

[chuckie]

WELL GOODLUCK with it all RODNEY hope you can get the old girl sorted out,

may be the start of many a new thing for you both,

GOOD LUCK Cheer`s Chuckie.

[-RBD2-]

Will wait to see what kind of cash they want for the wreck,considering the damage and the suspect rooted trans surely they can't ask top dollar for it

just want my wheels and straight pipes back for the new rig

[typevu]

Bloody scumbags hope they overdose and die a horrible slow painful death.

[nugzy31]

sucks majorly that its written off.... even if you got it back in fair condition it wouldnt feel the same.... i felt like shit and my car was only broken into...

[BIT SUS]

yeh mate, my car was screened for biohazards and needles before Morpowa was allowed to touch it. its standard policy nowdays

[FR33K]

can't go past 4wd turbo combo...if you see what I'm getting at

I know exactly what your getting at... 4wd, turbo, smaller what else could it be...

You don't have to accept the opinion of the insurance company after it determines the status of your car.

Remember it is just the opinion of an assessor who may be very familiar with a Holden or ford but not your model, If you disagree you can argue your case ,get your mechanic to write a report and add additional information which the insurance co. may not be aware of.

They will want to out lay minimum dollars. if your car is a write off you can also argue the value but it may be irrelevant depending on how you insured the car.

I thought he was talking about something like this:
