Stagea Smash Merrylands

[PetroDola]

i would not be suprised for a second if its not classed as a write off seriously.. its not a 25k repair there.

only on the basis of how many are in country and the parts being all imported that it will be classed as a write off.. if this was japan that wouldnt be.

sump aside have you checked for any serious damage... its supposed to drop the engine from the mounts on purpose in a front end smash allowing the sump to smash on the ground ..which actually protects the motor and gearbox from frontal impact. thats the clever design of these.

didnt notice the motor oil mixed with the tranny oil sorry. thought it just mightve been coolant and tranny oil.

its a writeoff 100% no doubt about that. i sent the photos to my brother he will confirm this for sure.

the repair doesnt have to = 25k

just remember that all parts need to be new from nissan.. factor that into the costs and you will be getting your insurance payment soon!

very true...and good point.

[RubyRS4]

Damn! Sorry to hear that

Those pics look nasty. I'm confident too that it'll be a write off. But at least you get the joys of going shopping

Its sad to see! hopefully he can pick up an even newer one now.. or something better?

this is @ pickles in brisbane at the moment. someone farted near the front bar and its now written off.. it doesnt take much as you can see.

[matty_M35]

Our old maxima had $7k damage and it was a ti 2003 maxima it was written off.. We got 16k I'm not complaining though coz that's how I became a stagea owner!!!!

It doesn't hav to be much damage they factor everything in like for yours the time involved to source parts and also there can also be the chance of structual damage that is undiscovered they would rather write it off in case a serious accident is caused later due to this then the insurance company can be liable.. They have so much money to them it's no loss over a few thousand bucks..

Finally after a bit of mucking around and waiting, it is a write off.

The offer from pickles is a joke for the wreck, even the assessor told me to see what I can yet privately.

Anyone interested? Has nismo s-tune suspension and sound control exhaust.

[GoldZilla]

Wow, dude, it's been almost 2 months! What the hell? Even an amateur can tell that that's a write-off, surely mounting a median strip and wiping out that fence would have caused structural damage, not to mention hitting the other car...

[dirtyRS4]

That was a choice crash mate. Captain couragous. lol

how much insurance coin do you have to spend. Time for an ARX?

[Paramour]

Lol, no, I had the dreaded RAM issue with my drivers seat.

Hello,

Can anyone elaborate on what the "RAM" issue is with the drivers seat . .

Might be interested in the turbo if you are parting it? PM?

[Bis-e Bee]

No parting, I want the car gone.

If someone was to buy it and the facility and tools to part it, they could make a mint!

[scotty nm35]

You going to give us a price?

You buying another Stag mate?

[Sunkist]

ewww ARX!! lol

do you vant the red vine colour??

why dis your fellow stagea princess?

[Bis-e Bee]

I am open to offers, if I can make a bit extra out of it for my next m35 and help someone out with parts it is all a win win situation.

Offer is only open for a few days and then I will just let pickles take it for the measely $820 lol
