One Less

[ACAVant]

Well folks, there's one less Stagea on the streets of Perth. Mine bit the dust due to spasticated commodore drivers. Pics are on my blog http://spaces.msn.com/members/shopdays

Severe front end damage with a parts total of close to 11k. Write off central.

Dam man thats a shame

How well did the air bags work?

[DRIFTER]

are you going to be selling the parts off it?

[ACAVant]

Airbags worked well enough to clock me in the chin ;p Seatbelts did their job admirably. I was glad I was in a Stagea when I had my accident, cos otherwise who knows how farked I'd be.

No parts, insurance asked for too much to buy back the wreck

how's the engine? I might have a good home for it... if its not too soon to be asking, and you've decided on what you're gonna do with it now, that is.

[DRIFTER]

can someone please explain to me how the insurance company can claim they own your car after an accedent? they're paying out on a policy not buying your car

[StageZilla]

i dunno the answer to that but my last car i smashed up and wrote off was a vl turbo and i bought it back for $400 from the insurance company after getting a payout and i sold off over 8K in parts, so i actually made heaps on that little effort hehe

what they askin for the stagea now then? surely the parts would equal over 5K EASY. upto around 10k worth even with all the rare bits and pieces

If you look in your policy (they all have it) you'll see that if they declare it a write off they then own it. They then recover money from selling it to someone...
