If the car is a write off any idea what I would get as a payout? Also how do i get the option to buy it back?

Has anyone had any experience with micolor or DT panels?

Yeh I'm calling write off, you would have to get a few valuations done on it minus damage, there's a few other ways but I don't know if u can do that now, probably will have to speak to their insurance and work something out with red book or glasses guide values

You would get paid out whatever the market value is on the insurance.

But given it's not registered and not in a RWC state (perhaps), that might be a tad lower.

It's not looking good.

Does anyone know when DT panels opens again? Or micolor?

Mick (Micolour) isn't back I think till the 2nd week of Jan, probably the same for other places too

fair stack :D

for reference when my 33 was written off it was insured for market value so around 11,000

i had the option to buy the car back at time it was declared write off and they would let me keep the car and pay me the difference, around 6k ish and its no longer available for comprehensive insurance or let them have the car they pay me out the 11k minus excees etc

That's what I said, you said if the car was parked illegally it would be the stationary vehicles fault, or implied that way at least. So yeh, it is a broad overview

Parked illegally like if you park in front of a fire hydrant and then there's a fire they will damage your car to get access and you won't be covered

Lol, does anyone else want to repeat what I said? Anyone?

DT reopen Jan 2.

My 33 was written off in March this year, got pad 12700 from memory (after excess). Had option to buy it back but didn't look into it.

Ouch, that thing's a write off for sure.

You should be covered by their insurance, regardless of rego or not.

Were you moving at the time? Or was it parked outside your house? Either way, you might be in for a visit from Johnny Lawman, but if it was just parked you might get lucky.

That's a bugger mate, if it's not written off I can vouch for Mick at Micolour, he's not the cheapest and will take his time (which is good) but he's worth it.

Also, if it's parked illegally... wait, what?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
