Bunta · 04-26-2006

sorry to hear man.

CVD · 04-23-2006

Good kill on that buick. Your car gets 72 virgins.

Its hard to tell from the pictures that she was at fault though.

AJ · 04-23-2006

Damn that suck. Very nice ride! Keep us posted one what ends up happening.

Eagle_of_Fire · 04-23-2006

Hey I feel For you.. That sucks and all but then again you are ok.. It could always be worse, trust me i've been there when it was. Fix her if you can or move on if you can't you sound like you love this hobby and you'll be happy again with the car or a car once more.

DoughtCom · 04-23-2006

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, I'll definitely keep this updated. I had a friend that works at an autobody shop look at it today and he said there's no frame damage, the suspension is straight and whatnot. I took some more pics, the intercooler looks all messed up and the engine is pushed back. The window is cracked from the air bags and the core support is obviously fucked up along with all of the front panels. So it's going to be a close call whether they total it or not. I would definitely say the car is salvageable though. There is NO buckling beyond the front driverside of the wheel, the backend is in perfect shape it looks like frame wise.

Other than that I talked to an insurance agent that's a friend of mine as well. And she said that I can use the market value (to a certain extent) to up the price that they give me if they total it, but it's obviously up to them so that might be a fun battle.

i'd get 'er fixed, on a lighter note, it seems like you had the wherewithall to take an artistic pic of the damage.

turboDSM · 04-23-2006

that sucks!!

1slowdsm · 04-23-2006

Ouch! That definitely sucks. Hope everything turns out well for you.

GSXMatt · 04-24-2006

Damn! I don't like seeing 2gs all banged up, makes me sad inside =(. For sure let us know what happens!

BTW Rims look real nice!

desolate · 04-24-2006

WOW that SUCKS. Hopefully everything will be repaired. Those RIMS look awsome on your car.

BuildADSM · 04-24-2006

sorry man. looks like it was nice.

I would be willing to be right now alot of money that they are going to want to total it.
hood, both fenders, bumper, support, stuff from motor moving back, airbags. A nice body shope would charge atleast 10 grand for that aloan down here, though it could be different up there.
It looks fixable and if you want you can do alot of the work yourself putting new parts on and save alot of money.
good luck,
Stuart

also BTW did it spin your car like 90degrees or were you on the crossroad?

rst95eclipse · 04-24-2006

Yeah, I apologize buddy. Had the same shit happen after I spent 2 days and nights working around the clock piecing together my own turbo kit on my 95 RS. Week later it's worth 3/4 of the market value. Luckily I got the last quarter from selling it off as a parts car. I hope everything works out for you buddy. Good luck.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 04-25-2006

No frame damage??? I'm sorry but I find that very hard to believe. Judging from the pics, the left side is definatly short, and I'd bet money that the whole front end is swayed to the left. it's definatly gonna need to go on the frame rack. Good luck on getting your insurance company to fix it.... Although, it is possible

awd-drifter · 04-25-2006

OMG! that sucks man! thats a freakin nice as hell 2g too! good luck and good thing ya aint hurt

DoughtCom · 04-26-2006

Just a quick update... my car is totaled.... I'll find out how much they'll give me hopefully today.

b35talon · 04-26-2006

You don't plan on parting the car out do you?

DoughtCom · 04-26-2006

I might not buy it back... depends on how he offers me.

I am however in the market now (might start a seperate thread on the appropriate topic) but just wanted to say I'm looking for a Black 1993-1997 3000GT VR4 with decent miles < 90k on it and preferably close to stock. Price range is 12k-20k... don't want to spend more than that and I'm willing to fly up to about 1000 miles away.

Steeltwo · 04-26-2006

well at least you got the pictures of the car with those new rims!!

Gravy · 04-26-2006

You are lucky, i rolled a truck about 7 months ago, walked away with 2 cuts on my knee, a sore back, and leg muscles so sore i couldn't walk. Rolled it doing only 10 or so miles per hour, caught a ditch sliding sidways in a raised truck.

Still have headaches to this day, but lucky thing is.... insurance company didn't raise my rates. Hope they don't do that with you as well.

I'd forget buying it back if you getting a VR4, or other 3kgt. Nothing will really swap over. so save the money and effort for the new car.
