Happy F*cking New Year.

WOW, that does suck, but at least it'll be covered. I wonder if his insurance will try to total it out?

I'd bet on it...it's pretty crazy what any meaningful repair costs these days.

Wow that sucks! But awesome they got his info!

What kind of charges can you file against him or what are the police doing becuase that seems like reckless endangerment or something?

[1ViciousGSX]

Definitely "Hit & Run" for sure.

I'm not sure when the police found him, but witnesses said he was pretty drunk and reeked like weed. So hopefully he'll get more than just a hit and run. As for the insurance fixing it or not, I'd hope they fix it, but if they don't, I'll just buy it back and find another 240 to put my parts and stuff into and part this one out.

Well the adjuster just looked at it, and said that purely due to it's age it's gonna be a total loss. He didn't have any numbers or anything for me yet, but the guy handling the claim is supposed to call me within the next day or two and let me know what the numbers are.

fuck it, time for an Evo!

thats crazy kevin. Hope you get some decent money to be able to find another one. make sure you call your agent as well, he may be able to help get you the most out of the car. :)

Well it sounds like there's a $10k payout limit on his policy, and since he hit 3 vehicles that's going to be quickly reached. They said they may not be able to give me any more than $2500 for my car, even though NADA value, as well as local market value is right around $4500. As far as my own insurance, I have liability only, so I can't really get anything out of my policy. I provided the claims agent with two examples of similar cars, one selling for $4500, and the other selling for $6k (SR20 swapped) so hopefully I'll be able to get a little more out of it.

Does anyone know if I should just take him personally to small claims to get the full value? That, to me, seems like the most logical next step.

If all they're offering is $2500 for your car then it's probably time to get a layer. I've never heard of an insurance policy having a $10k limit...what if he hit a nicer/newer car? Sounds like BS to me. State minimum coverages are higher than that.
