i have been on both sides of this situation before. you will never see her again, the only people you will have contact are the insurance company. that's why we all have them.

fine....you are right....but I made sure that guy would NOT have a fun time with any insurance company in the future...and no license for a while and some jail time.....get an appraiser to get your car's value and you can get more for it.

I kinda know how you feel man. I just got rear ended the other day, by a lady in a jeep. We were both stopped at a stoplight and I was turning. When the light turned green i started turning but then had to yield to a pedestrian so i stopped, and she hit me. Broke my tail light and damaged the driverside rear quarterpanel. I am so sad, but it is not anywhere near as bad as yours. I feel for you.

I agree that the legitimate way to make the best of this situation is to buy the car back from the insurance company as salvage and part her out. It's like signing your organ donor's card and helping out a dozen other 7 owners. A woman hit me 1/2 and 1/2 head on in my truck. I argued for an accepible settlement, had three different adjustors look at it and explained the 'legal' mods that made it valuable. Then I purchased it as salvage for $250 I think and ended up reselling it as a rebuilder. I doubled my money.

Sometimes these "large" settlements still arent enough if you got hurt badly! Look at him, it has cost him more than the settlement and he's still in pain... You really don't know how long the pain, if any, is going to be with you or how costly and how time consuming do you? You can't predict things like that, so you kind of have to go for as much of a settlement as you can to look out for yourself. Just shrugging it off and saying "I'm probably okay and don't need anything" or "I don't need very much" to try and be nice to the lady could bite you in the *** in the end.

Well a body shop appraised the damage at $5900. Obviously the fair thing for the insurance company to do would be to repair the car back to how it was before the wreck. Since life isn't fair, they will only give me what they believe is the worth of the car. They offered me $1800 to total the car and a buyback cost of $200, so I net $1600 and keep the car. I am holding out for more money than that, but if I end up with the car I will part it out. The problem is that the engine is where most of the money was put into it, but it's a simple n/a streetported S4 engine and isn't worth even to an enthusiast nearly what I paid for it because the turbo motors are quite prevalent. I'm not counting on getting a whole lot of money for the car, so I need to get as much as I can from insurance.

Ahh, man. Sorry about your wreck man. Hope it doesn't happen to too many other 7's. Although it does make our cars that much more rare, but still. When my friend totaled his 88 Supra N/A Auto, he got a $4500 settlement check and bought an 88 Supra Turbo (still auto, but hey.). Why not just get a settlement check in court via sueing the "ma'dam's" insurance company and get yourself a TII?

So not only did you post a For Sale ad to the wrong forum (which I moved), but you have also bumped this thread to try to sell the car? Hm, thread closed.
