another one bit the dust

Well all my 05 Crossfire was totaled today.

A woman made a left turn in front of me. Thank god for airbags. They probably saved me from serious injury. Just bruised and sore. The lady said sorry and that was it. I only had 7000 miles on it.I am going to ins company tomorrow and see what happens. Blue book says it's only worth a little over $16000. It's worth more than that to me but alas.

Re: another one bit the dust

Sorry to hear about the wreck, but I'm glad you escaped relatively unharmed and all.

$16K should net you a nice SRT-6 replacement if your haggling skills are up to par. I've seen several sell for around that.

What was she driving?

As good as these German built cars are, they are not Panzer Tanks.

Sad about your baby. Been there myself.

Glad you are OK.

Good luck with the insurance Co.

I know you haven't even had the funeral yet but.....

If mine bit the dust, the convertable would get a BIN tonite.

Sorry to hear of your loss but I'm glad you were not injured.
I hope the outcome with insurance allows you to find a suitable replacement and I hope you choose another Crossfire.

Re: another one bit the dust

Kurly, from my past experience, don't take any thing below fair market value for it. meaning what the replacement of the Crossfire in your area with the same mileage and condition as yours. Start checking the local listings and compare them to yours. Auto trader for instance.
