There is a big difference between trivial damage and structural damage. Losing a headlight or bumper is very different from bending the chassis and the car never driving quite right again.

The damage comes to $3500!!!! There is rad support damage and a few other things that escape my memory at the momment. If I get offered a buy out I'm just going to buy back the car (if they don't want to much) and strip it and part it out
i am sorry to see this...:blackeye:

Sorry to see Wes. When you were talking about your car at the Buffalo meet it didn't ring a bell and then I saw this thread and your sig and I was like NO WAY! Hopefully you will be able to buy it back for cheap and fix it up.

This is my worst nightmare!! Hope you can buy it back cheap. One of my fav black SVT's for sure.
won't a large part of that sum be labor ? You never know you might just end up with a few extras on there :idea: ..hope it works out for you ..G.The damage comes to $3500!!!!

I know someone who has all of the parts you need to get that car back to how it was, dont part it out; it literally will take an afternoon or work to fix that car, and probably less than $300 worth of body parts, which you probably can find in your car's colour (wanted to be canadian for a minute).

Let me know when you need help to tear it apart. Damn it if my damage was another $1,000 they would have written off my SVT too.
Yep my 98.5, Wes' 99 and your 2000.

DAMN! That just reinforces my opinion that there should be an age limit on ppl driving. Take the damn ACCESS van, that is what they are there for.
:laugh: Well that's all that really matters

The stock one, don't worry your old 3L is ok
.What's worse is with my silver SVT it was hit regularly (had a pager alarm) but there was never any damage.
As for the hood don't worry I'll have your CF EVO hood soon enough haha.
Sorry to hijack your thread Wes.

They totalled that??? I parked my SVT under the rear end of an Explorer while I was going about 45mph and I was fully covered, even included a rental.
The damage included everything from the front to the windshield including the windshield itself, both fenders, hood, radiator, grill, headlights and some other misc engine bay items. However, I didn't have any structural damage as the front of my car went right under the rear bumper of his truck and kinda made an 'acordian' impact. But my damage was close to $5500.

I wouldn't really call it wrecked...more like dinged. Idiot me. I got into it to let it warm up while I scraped the ice off of it. I wasn't thinking and took my foot off the clutch (with one foot out of the car), and of course, the car was in gear and didn't have the e-brake on. Damn Blizzaks grabbed traction and the car went rolling. I slammed my one foot on the brake/clutch, but not before I had rolled into a Jeep. No damage to the jeep, cracked oval and mesh, and a 1/2" dent on the edge of my hood. :blackeye: Luckily no damage to the bumper/lights/structure at all, and I had planned on having the hood and bumper painted this spring anyways, so I guess now I will just have the bumper and a different hood painted. I guess it could have been a lot worse.
