#166296 x2 on that not making any sense at all.....also make sure you report it to your insurance company as well since if he dose it he could go ahead and say you rear ended him and the insurance pays him.....not saying thats going to happen but with the world today people are well jerks.....

also even if your car ends up with a salvage title it will still be fine and 9/10 for that bit of damage i dont think they would salvage your title but im not sure a salvage car is well less in value yes but its still a car and if you really wanted to you could find a way to unsalvage it

i dont think the above statement is true

once the car was totaled and then repaired it is branded forever, regardless of who fixed it...

if the car was totaled but not reported then it obviously still has a clean title

of course, i have heard of people using a title from a car they used for parts and cut up and just kept the title, of course this is not legal

#166409 3200$ etimate. thats a lot. if i were you i would show him and make him a deal. if he pays that cool if he says he cant afford that even 2500$ will be enough. you could just fix the sol or just sell it and take all your money and buy another one and proly still have money left over.

If it was his fault, id say claim insurance, cause youll get paid.
If you have liability only, id say pass on claiming it and get money from the dude.

But if hes willing to pay out of pocket and you feel like he'll come through, go with that. Insurance will go up if you claim, and you also risk those assholes at the insurance place totalling your car. they love totalling.



dam thats mean. haha im a honest guy so idk if i can do that to someone and bend that shit some more. and about the claiming i dont know if i can if i havent registered the car yet. i just got the car not to long ago. -_-



its not really that mean if you think about it.....


HE hit you with HIS jeep and YOU have to suffer with a fucked up bumper when it was HIS fault. Personaly, i'd be pissed if i had to drive my car around with a fucked up hood and bumper because some fucking moron couldnt check his goddamn mirror. And the whole time id be driving id be thinking that everyone who saw my car thought. "dumbass crashed his rice burner" knowing damn well it wasnt my fault. Soooooo. get that sommabitch for all the dough. Go to a real expensive place and get a real big quote and show him how much it will cost to fix HIS fuck up. :thumb:


and now that im reading that it is kinda mean, but honesty wont get you too far in this fucked up world.


and BTW, i didnt mean to fuck the core support up more... i meant bend it back in place silly. :wink:

yeah 3200 is a lot of money. i went to honda :lol: i probably will take even 2500. cause if didnt go to honda i would get the same repair for cheaper but the thing is if he hit me i want to go to the most quilfied shop to get a estimate. i need my money worth. tehe.

i would think doing that would be pretty mean. and im pretty sure hes going to want to pay since hes only 16 his insurance would probably sky rocket. and what you just said is what i was thinking today driving my car to school. everyone seeing my fucked up sol saying that stupid kid with his ricer rear ended someone. hahaha. but it wasnt my fault he backed up into me. great minds think alike lol. i stayed pretty calm throughout the ordeal though. no reason to get mad only thing i said was fawk when i got out the car. but there was no reason to get mad. :woot: cause at the end of the day it wasnt my fault and im getting paid.
haha yeah i could probably bend the core support. to fix it lol. :hehe:

#171810 alright so heres a little update. the insurace claimed it a total loss and it came up to being 3600 on my end. does anyone know how much or a rough estimate on how much it would cost if i were to buy the car back and fix it myself?

#171852 so, they totaled it? WTF?

You can buy it back for under $500 most likely, but youll have the salvage title if you buy it back.

If i were you, id go buy a clean shell and swap all of the stuff over.
then you can donate the crashed shell to some free local pickup company and get a tax credit. Thats just what i did. lol

#171959 if you like the car and want to keep it there's nothing wrong with having a salvage title

its just near impossible to get a decent dollar for it later on if you go to sell it

as for how much it is to buy, you have to call your insurance company and talk to them
By imtyson
#172266 yeah im just going to buy it back i just dont know how long its going to take them. i hate dealing with the stupid insurance companies they take to long to do anything. :x
