Take My CS off the list

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. And thank you for advising us of the status on CS #135699.

 

Sorry to hear that. that Nevada State statute sounds deuchy to me.

 

WOW! So sorry to hear this one!


Robert

 

That sucks----Maybe someone who deosn't care about the salvage title will get a great car....

 

Did they give you the option to purchase the car? Is so, please provide details as to repair estimates and how much you had the option to buy for....

 

+1 I and many others prob would buy it from you..

 

Robert, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, and it's very nice of you to provide this information for the community. But I'm so happy that you're okay. When it's all said and done, this is just another one of life's experiences. But if you didn't make it out alive, or came crawling from a jagged pile of twisted metal and broken glass, that wouldn't be a nice experience. So I think I speak for everyone when I say that I'm glad you're okay.

Do you have plans to get another one? Do you still have the warranty card/book from this one...?

 

Glad to hear you came out of the ordeal unscathed. I also wish you the best of luck with replacing it whether you keep it or get a new one. The CS prices have dropped quite a bit, and it is a soft market so I have no doubt you'll be able to replace it if you should go that route.

Robert, very sorry for the loss but glad you are here to type away on FCHAT..... I disagree with Pete on the pricing issue. If you have an educated underwriter, he should look at the fact that CS prices have INCREASED in the past year. Economy has not affected that pricing and you need to educate your underwriter to that fact. Sure there are CSs in the $180k range, but they are sitting with 15k to 20k in miles. The CSs under 10k are still in the $190k to $210k range. Make sure yhey give you the right number!

Good luck!

 

I had a incident with a Porsche Cayenne and the insurance company said they don't let the insured buy back vehicles that are salvaged. I didn't want the thing back but the tow facility wanted to buy it from me.

 

So sorry to hear that.

 

Please post it..... Good luck to find new one

 

If he has agreed value coverage, that shouldn't be an issue.

 

Robert,
I bet you were going up the Mt Rose hwy.

I have been a party in 2 totaled cars in the last 6 or 7 years here in Reno. In both instances the cars were not actually damaged nearly as much as you would think.

The first one was an 11-year-old Infinity Q45 that had paint sandblast damage from a big windstorm. From 5 ft away the car looked perfect. The ins co offered me 4700 and they take the car or 4400 and I keep the car, but with a salvage title. I kept the car, pocketed the 4400 and sold it to a friend for 4500 (full disclosure on the salvage title). My friend is still driving the car 7 years and 80,000 miles later.

The second car was a 1998 3 series BMW Convertible. One of my girls was driving it when a 16yr old in a giant pickup made a left in front of her and she hit it. The air bags did not deploy, but the front end was popped in a bit. The ins company offered me (including sales tax by the way) 16500 and they keep the car or 11,000 and I keep the car. I let them have the car.

Make sure you hear both numbers and make sure that they include sales tax in their numbers.

Good Luck,
Tony in Reno

 

I would take the money and buy a car with no stories.

 

Fchatters, on the whole (with some past exceptions) tend to be more ethical. First, sorry for the loss and wow, I'm glad you were not hurt. Second, thanks for doing the ethical thing and telling FChat about it so the serial # is kept track of.

Third, it might be worth more financially to take the 15% deduction and keep the car with a "salvage" title then sell the car for 15% + a small markup to someone on FChat who could turn it into a track car, preferrably someone who's not a "sideline" dealer who will try to "make money" but someone who will fix it and drive it like Enzo intended.

Unfortunately, wouldnt be me as I usually hang in the 308/328 section as its all I can afford, but surely someone on the list would want a good track car.

Very sad to hear this. Glad you are ok. The car can be replaced. Best of luck with the outcome.

 

So what kind of $$ would that make it. Would be a great track car!

 

My CS is with insured with Farmers too... I'm curious to see how they treat us mountain folk on this.
