Yeah, I figure I'll put every dime I get back into a replacement car. I may end up going with something cheap, just so it is paid off quickly and that will free up more money for inheriting my share...

Thanks! No worries.

Different kind of hardship. lol Definitely not another child. Most likely a divorce. I still have some hope it will be prevented, but I often think I should prepare for it by not spending much on a...

I think another ZHP is at the top of my list. I'm also being tempted by the thought of a WRX or STi. And I've even kicked around the idea of just getting something VERY cheap for a while to pay down...

With the sales tax figure I come out about $1k ahead.

Well, I took their latest offer today. They came up to kbb ($15.8k) and with the sales tax figure, I end up getting about $17.2k. But since they are actually valuing the car at $15.8k, I'm going to...

Man, I'm always late to the party. Anyway, here was my first thought:

I think the car is still at the towing yard. I haven't been by in a few weeks. But the headlights were ZKWs anyway. But I not going to have it repaired.

Going to my insurance is still on the...

I missed the black one on AT. I generally check it everyday - @ any distance. Although call me crazy but I'm being tempted by thoughts of a WRX or STi. (I know I know).

I too think it is a bit...

I am trying to avoid involving my insurance for the very reason az3579 mentioned. I guess I will if I have to, but it is a bit further down the list of actions. I actually spoke with an attorney last...

I just spoke with the claims adjuster's supervisor. He said he is going to see what he can do. I'm not expecting much to change as he is probably going to back his guy for the most part and maybe...

Update - just got out of a heated exchange with the insurance adjuster. He is not budging past $14.8k for the car. I mentioned that he is still around $1k below kbb which is usually fairly...

I would be happy if they gave me $16k for the car at this point. Although I think $16.5k would be more of a fair value of the car. I mean if I were buying the car right now, I would have no trouble...

I'm with you. He told me he would call me today. Well, he didn't. I believe that is the conversation we are going to have Monday. I expect a check for the real value of my car - not the value of a...

I heard back from his insurance company again today with their revised offer. They went up a whopping $700! Now we are up to $14,8XX. I told them that is still too low and asked for what options and...

I have sent his insurance company scanned copies of autotrader ads for similar cars - all with prices higher than what they were trying to give me - and many had more miles than my car. I have also...

No, the police were called. It even said in the police report that the other car ran the stop sign or "failure to yield right of way", but the insurance adjuster from the girl's company said that...

The plot thickens...I just heard back from the insurance adjuster from the girl's insurance (who supposedly ran a stop sign). Her insurance has determined the shop owner who hit her was at fault -...

Just an update - apparently, the guy I talked to this morning was from the shop's insurance company - not from the girl who ran the stop sign's company. The girl who was at fault's insurance company...

Thanks, Meric. I tend to think the same way. Something will always just be a little bit off and it will drive me crazy.



Paint and body was in good shape. Front bumper has some scapes on the...

Dane - I'm not having to go through my insurance. Claim is filed through the insurance of the girl who ran the stop sign.

I did call the guy back who I talked to earlier this morning and told him...

Ryan, my concern with opting to repair it and just live with the salvage title is if the car finds itself in another accident after being slapped with the salvage title. Insurance then will surely...

So my beloved ZHP was involved in an accident a little over a week ago. I'm just now getting around to posting the pictures.

Story:
Took the car to a reputable indy shop for some general...

True. Detail all you want, but it is only going so far on TiAg. It does seem to hold up a little better after driving for a bit at hiding dirt though. I'll take that trade off I guess, since she gets...

I don't know if this matters to you (and I don't have a link), but I recall seeing a thread somewhere (maybe Bimmerforums) where Jay from Ground Control said that those STR.Ts are not actually made...
