this happen today @ 18 and irving st, in San Francisco, car is White and it's originally Red, it's gutted interior with a 4pt Kirk racing roll bar, base model, with a large customize intercooler. I ran to a sushi place and eat with couple friend, came out my car is gone, anyone spotted, please notified me please please please.

 

Woa, I really hope you find it soon. Its really fucked up how people do things like this. Someone stole an integra at Lincoln and stripped it down to just its frame. Hope that doesnt happen to you, since rx7's are more rare than any honda. Good Luck. Ill also keep a close lookout

 

license plate itsh 4ddc573..plzz..i can't sleep..**** **** ****

 

Man thats fucked up, I'll keep a look out. Didn't you have an alarm on your 7? I thought those punk kids only steal hondas and crap. Hope you notified your insurance and made a report.

 

I hope you get it back in 1 piece.

 

Call the damn firring squad!

 

OMG really sorry to hear... Do you have full coverage on it? Hopefully some kid just stole it for a joy ride, and you'll find it abandoned somewhere very soon...

 

yes what he said^ also u mite be missing license plate and with stuff broken. Im gonna be on a look out

 

even if they find it, wouldn't it be considered a theft recovery car? value on that would go down like crazy. you're better off having insurance pay you out.

 

did you call the police yet and confirm that it wasnt towed or something? if you notified the cops and it wasnt towed then if they see someone driving the car it will be a felony stop meaning they will get pulled over most likely by gunpoint.

 

i hate people who steal cars. got my 87 toyota van jacked twice! once at Galleria, then the other right in front of my house! then again, my van is nothing compared to your FD.
they better return that **** back, and like wankler said, get the firing squad on them.

 

damn that sucks Hope you find it.

 

Man that completely sucks. I've two cars stolen within the last 2 years, I know exactly how you feel. I hope to find your car in one piece. It's the season to be giving but let's not forget it's a season when crooks are at their best, taking advantage of our vulnerability.

 

that's why you get an alarm, clutch lock, and wheel lock.

You're set.

 

That sucks man. I'll keep my eye out in the north bay.

 

i'll keep an eye out up here in the north bay too...

 

Actually, the effect on the status of your Title would be no difference than if you get in a fender bender. It all comes down to how much it costs to repair.

At issue is that the insurance company will total your car if the cost to repair is estimated at 75% or more of their concluded market value for the car. Here is an example of why this is a BS situation:

1. If it costs $8,000 to repair a car that is worth $50,000, it gets repaired leaving a clean title. In this case, assuming the FD is in excellent condition and if the damage is estimated at the same $8,000 damage, both cars will be in the same condition after repair except the FD will probably have a salvage title (due to the insurance company declaring it totaled based on $8,000 exceeding 75% of market value).

2. The effect on value if your title becomes salvage title is also all relative. Actual effect on value is maybe 10-20% of otherwise market value assuming you put it all back together. (The fact that it was all stripped down, our friend has probably lost that much value in the eyes of an insurance estimator) To translate, the $50,000 car would loose $5,000 - $10,000 in market value. The FD is worth, say, $10,000 you only lost $1,000 - $2000. So, if his title is salvaged, the effect on market value really won't be that drastic.

What WILL happen are insurance companies generally will not grant comp and collision coverage to salvage titled car (another BS situation given #1 above). So, you can only get liability coverage.

However, considering what comp and collision insurance costs vs. market value of the car, for most of us it doesn't make sense to buy anything more than liability (and of course uninsured motorist) anyway. Certainly FC and FB owners.

Simplistic example, say comp and collision alone costs $1,000 per year and your comp/collision deductible is $1,000 (common). Say your RX7 is worth $5,000, you've owned it for 4 years, and your car gets totaled. All you'll get is your $4,000 back ($5,000 value less $1,000 deductible) leaving with you a sum ZERO gain. Actually less as the insurance company had use of your money for 4 years at no return to you. If your car gets totaled and it's the other guys fault, you get your entire $5,000 from either his insurance company or via your uninsured motorists coverage. And being the ultra safe drivers we all are, it would of COURSE be the other guys fault.

Better, just get liability coverage and put that $1,000 in a savings account. Then, use that savings account to buy the Renesis powered Vert when it becomes available.

 

are you sure you just didn't park in a red zone?

 

Ill keep an eye out in the east bay...

Check craigslist for parts that are being sold...maybe the thief would be stupid enough to post on craigslist to sell parts???

 

has the authorities recovered your vehicle yet?

 

Sorry to hear about this. Hope you get it back in good condition.

 

thx for the look out guys, the car had recovered with a left side quarter damage, i'm now going to get my car back @ Humboldt Redwood Park Station, seems like the theft lost control @ a turn.

 

What an idiot...

 

..... of course, some stupid ricer took it for a joy ride, and uable to handle the power....


idiot!~

awwell, congrats on getting your car back, post some pics so we know how bad.

Merry Christmas and hope your car wasnt that bad.
