im kinda mad that they didnt give them a BAC test, but other than that, its looking good for me. there was actually more than 1 witness. she lied to the cops too tisk tisk

heres some more pics of my damage, i lifted the carpet up in the trunk area

my 12 disc changer got messed up too

Accident report details below

I'm surprised they didn't give them a BAC test.

Either way the report was well-written in your favor.

The ****** part is that your car is toast.

Done Sir, Done

BonzoHansen · 08-13-2010, 05:13 PM

now it needs tubs.

98tadriver · 08-14-2010, 04:54 AM

what do u mean by "the car is toast" and "done sir, done?" do you guys think its totaled? i dont think the frame is bent. airbags did not go off either

creeper · 08-14-2010, 05:41 AM

how many miles are on the car? my z28 was deemed totaled a few years ago with this damage, when the NADA/KBB value was in the $7k range...

even if insurance totals it you can still definitely repair it, it's just a lot of work

Frosty · 08-14-2010, 07:32 AM

1/4 panel, rear body panel, wheelhouse...all gone. Bumper cover, absorber and reinforcement bar. Tail light, the filler panel and repair on the front door.

Be prepared for it to be totaled.

I'm with Frosty, I think they're going to total it. Take the money and buy it back and fix it.

12secondv6 · 08-14-2010, 09:03 AM

Ouch! Damn bastards!

JL8Jeff · 08-14-2010, 10:05 AM

Are you kidding, a raccoon! If the witness saw them speeding and called it in before the accident why would they believe that crap and not do a BAC?

DevilDougWS6 · 08-14-2010, 10:33 AM

I have an extra 12 disc changer in my garage if you need it. sucks about the damage dude. hope everything turns out for the better

98tadriver · 08-14-2010, 12:12 PM

thanks for the input guys. as for the mileage, it has 88,000 and change. I dont think im gonna fix it. i think im just gonna part it out when the time comes. ill be sure to make a new thread in the classifieds section when that day arrives

sweetbmxrider · 08-14-2010, 01:26 PM

finally!

MyFirstZ · 08-15-2010, 10:50 AM

i dont think they will total it, i had the exact same thing on my car done. cost 4700$ from geico.

Frosty · 08-15-2010, 11:03 AM

You also have a '00 SS, not a '99 Z28. The value is greater. His car is tagged and tagged hard.

MyFirstZ · 08-15-2010, 11:32 AM

thats true, i forgot this was not in the t/a

a buddy of mine had simliar damage as mine but not as bad, he said it was $4100, but i cant remember who his insurer was. After seeing what everyone said, Im guessing its going to be 4k+ if its not totalled

Frosty · 08-15-2010, 12:12 PM

It will be well over $4K, if you notice the floor is tweaked too.

I'm certainly not trying to be negative, I wish the damage wasn't as bad...

Seeing this stuff brings me back to when I was writing body shop estimates.

wcamarors1992 · 08-15-2010, 12:45 PM

I just had almost the same damage fixed on my 01 z28 last week. I think the total estimate of the damage was near 5k.

lol i hear ya dude. i know youre not trying to be negative.

Whether the damage is crazy expensive or it gets totalled, I think ill make out pretty good either way. Im more angry about the girls stupidity for driving reckless and messing up my ride, and the fact the cops didnt give them a breath test

holy crap. howd you go about the estimate process? did your insurance company estimate it? or did you get estimates from a few different body shops?

Frosty · 08-15-2010, 03:19 PM

Ron, what did your insurance company say? Did they say they're going to send someone out to your home to inspect it? Did they tell you to get your own estimates? Did they tell you to drive the car to one of their approved shops?

wcamarors1992 · 08-15-2010, 03:30 PM

I went to the body shop that I was going to use for the repair first and got an estimate, then I called my insurance company and they sent another estimator to my house. I think I had the check for the damages within a week after the second estimate.

Its gonna be a little different for you because your gonna have to deal with the other parties insurance. The worst thing about that damage is there are no new quarter panels, so you have to find a junked camaro somewhere.
