I contacted the insurance and informed them of my issue with having the car towed to their lot. My argument was basically. .. why pay to have it moved.. I'm not charging anything to store it. Lol they bought it and now are setting up a appointment to meet me at the house. Also I did stop by the construction trailer and asked about any cameras. He informed me the only camera they have is the one by the trailer where all the tools and such are stored.

 

Tough break man. Although, a cut check could be a nice chunk towards an SRT-6!

Keep us posted.

 

Oh man...I'm hoping it is not that high. I purchased the car for $10k

 

I'm seriously considering a srt...

 

~ hopefully once they see it... they will make the needed repairs.

 

That sucks. Seems it's easier for them to write these cars off than to dig through salvage yards for obsolete parts.

 

Well its official. . The insurance company just left. They are calling it a total loss. I asked about buying it back.. He informed me I would be looking around $3.5k . They are placing a higher price on savage because they need parts for other cars. Since my car was such in great shape. . And there isn't any parts available locally it just makes sense. If there's any quick parts anyone needs just let me know so I can pull it off before the tow truck gets it. I'm really down at the moment. . I was hoping it could be saved.

 

Holy crap $3,500 salvage price.
They sell for half that at insurance auctions

 

That's what I thought. When he told me that figure I was like...REALLY!!!

 

This may be a blessing in disguise, how many miles on hat car?
I would not want a car that has had damage done to the suspension, you never know if there is anymore adjustment left or if it is actually aligned correctly anyway. You can be driving behind a car and see that it is going along like a crab.
Take the money and get a lower mileage car. No rush is the best way, just wait for the plum to drop out of the tree.

 

Was it a graphite car?

 

Well after much discussion with the wife and having a really good look at the inspection report , we decided to keep the car. The inspection report from the adjuster was crazy.. $800 for a shock... $900 for a lower control arm... things like that was why it was considered totaled. the prices were way off as far as what they are really going for. I priced out the damaged front suspension right at $500. new upper and lower arms.. knuckle.... hub assembly. Another bumper should be running about $500 and repairing the fenders should be right around $400. front lights can be sanded and repolished fairly cheap.

 

Good to hear spyder, with the extra insurance $$$ maybe a couple upgraded

 

Glad to see your saving one from being hacked up for parts!
