Insurance Buyback!

[Sklyn]

Hey guys, Well I recently got taken out by a light pole and insurance is going to pay me out soon.

i would like to buy the car back from them but have really no idea what a wreck is worth to buyback from them.

Its a 1998 R33 40th Anniverssary GTST. in pretty much stock condition apart from the damage.

I am thinking I don't want to pay more than $2k for it but is that too high? should I offer them $1k?

The chassis is bent and the engine has been moved about 2cm on the mounts.

Thanks in advance for any advice on the matter or any help you can offer..

cheers,

Sheesus,

wat happened exactly mate?!

Looks like another one of those lamp post jumped out infront of me scenarios.

Add up what the bits on the car are worth to you or what they are worth if you sold them. That will give you an idea of what you can afford to offer for it.

Yeah, I wish those lights would stay off the road! lol.

Was on my way home after work and it had been raining, I turned a corner and she slide out, got away from me and became close friends with a light pole..The roads here are made for Hot Dry weather so when it rains they get very slippery, also since the accident i found out there was a big oil spill on the road where I crash a couple years ago, and every time it rains the oil comes out of the road.

I have done a rough calculation of what I can sell off, $6-$9000 depending if I can sell it all and who to. But a lot of it they would have to remove themsleves as I have no idea how....

Any idea what other wrecks have sold for?

3-4k for a S2 from a salvage wrecker.

yeah you'd be paying more than 2k.. they will assess the parts and bring in a price..

bonnets still good... could sell that for a good price..

Well I bought it back for $1700..!

I think due to my location and hassle it would cause them they decided to just give it away, lol...

I do have to say that through the whole process Just Cars was very helpful and understanding. Everything was dealt with promptly.

I recommend them completely

wow... i say that strut brace did its job to an extent, i bet it held it together a little bit. I purchased a r33 s2 with catback and power fc with stereo dvd and wheels... paid $4k and sold it all for 10k in parts and kept the wheels and stereo for my car XD (it wasnt my car, nor did i crash it, i baught it off insurance though)

[MP_R33]

if you buy it back, i want soooo much shit off it lol, pm me

[Sklyn]

I'd hate to think what it would be like without the strut brace, Definately money well spent..

I was expecting JC to want more than $1700,, then I got a cheque, YAY.

I'm hoping there's enough people locally that want heaps so i don't have to worry about postage, but we'll see what happens.

Sending PM now Ross..
