Goodbye Green SVT :(

[elraido]

You need a receipt for that $50 clutch?

Good luck though

You mean $250 clutch, right?

What did they offer?

 

[LUCA]

I'm really sorry!

Insurance companies usually offer a low price at first. I would look around at AutoTrader, etc. and find comparable SVT's and print out the info. for them. That might help to get you a better deal if they see what others are going for. Remember it is a "special" vehicle.

I know the ins. co. has access to all that info. but many companies will try to pass off the dollar amount from a regular Contour. If they know that you did your homework they'll hopefully give you a better price.

So have you heard anything for sure yet? I am waiting in anticipation to hear what they say so I can clobber them.:laugh:

 

[mjsvt]

[Buddy Palumbo]

Insurance companies are a real PITA to deal with - trust me , Ive recently gone through it . Stick to your guns !!!!

 

[cnewton44]

Any news yet? Did they decide officially to total it?

 

[MNstuckinMI]

oh, its totaled, no doubt, i am arguing still on the value of the car. hope to hear something tommorrow.

 

[cnewton44]

Ugha. That sucks. Insurance companies suck. Talk about getting screwed. You want me to "persuade" them?:laugh::laugh:

Yea , NEVER take their first offer !

When I totalled mine in the spring I had them go back and have a closer look at their numbers. Amazingly they found a little more than $2,000 to give me.

 

[AliasJerk]

if you intend to buy the car back and part it out, let me know what you want for the E1 wheels.

I have some "things" you could use to convice them of its worth if you want.:laugh:

 

[MNstuckinMI]

alright, heres an update.

ui just settled with the insurance company. i ended up getting them to value the car at a little over $3700 (considering the miles... 163,000, even though it didnt drive like that. i wish they could have drove it to get a real feel for the cars quality to keep going). anyways, since i had the 2 claims, i got a double hit with my deductable (pretty retarded if you ask me) and i bought the car back, i have a check coming to me for about $2400.

when i start to get time, i'll start to take the car apart. DONT MESSAGE ME YET ABOUT PARTS! when i take them off, i'll be posting stuff in the classified. some stuff i am going to keep.

anywyas, that was the rest of the story... sad

Definitely sad I liked your car.

The car should have been worth more with the condition it was in. But I guess the high mileage kinda killed the resale value.

 

[bagged]

so is the hunt on for another svt?

 

[Redlineracer12]

so is the hunt on for another svt?

Not from what I've heard.

It's not a very practical car for him to have as a "beater"
