A couple of you wanted to see it, so I decided i'd just make a thread about it. Here you guys go.
Couple of pics from my accident
- Thread starter 00_Civic_Si
- Start date
my guess is, its a civic, it'll be totaled, thats why i fixed my front end my self. insurance for sure would have totaled it.
This. Considering it's an old car and it's a Civic, I'd say it's totaled.depends on frame damage and how deep your rear end got pushed in.
Welp, I went into Tracys Body Shop here in Lincoln, and had a chat with the lady that does estimates.
Amount in parts - ~$5,200
Amount car is worth - $5,650
It's most likely totalled but she said it's right on the line. My insurance is going to call me here in the next few days and see what they think.

your car's actual cash value should be computed using NADA values (not KBB values) since that's what insurance companies use as a guideline. you're sitting at 92% of total value with your numbers. that's totaled. i'm fairly certain nebraska uses the 75% rule.
here's what you're looking at now:
a) title for cash - you give up the car, give them the title, and they give you a check for NADA value. you are able to negotiate the dollar amount and don't have to take their initial offer.
b) keep the car - you keep the car in its current state, they give you the NADA value minus salvage vehicle value.

I plan on just giving the car up. I don't like red too much, and that car is just a money pit.
Swap out aftermarket parts for stock like rims and stuff b4 yu give it up.

sorry about the bad fortune. it really sucks. if you have rental on your insurance you'll have a rental car for maybe a week while you find your next vehicle. start your search NOW. don't delay. i had to go a couple weeks without a car when my silver subie got totaled while i found another car
Pretty sure he is too young to get himself a rental. At best, his parent can get the rental and he can drive parents car.sorry about the bad fortune. it really sucks. if you have rental on your insurance you'll have a rental car for maybe a week while you find your next vehicle. start your search NOW. don't delay. i had to go a couple weeks without a car when my silver subie got totaled while i found another car

not if it's part of his insurance policy... when my civic was in the shop back in 2000 (i was 19 at the time), the rental coverage on my policy enabled me to rent a dodge dakota for $20/day while she got fixedPretty sure he is too young to get himself a rental. At best, his parent can get the rental and he can drive parents car.

yeah in indiana you can't rent a vehicle on your own if you're under 21. however, when it's a provision in an insurance policy, it's allowed. mostly because the vehicle is covered by the person's insurance policy and the ins company is footing the bill.
Damn dude thats all bad. Well what I really want to know is are you planning on getting a cheaper civic and getting a head start on mods/swap/exterior etc or do you think your gonna go for a different car?
I plan on getting another ej8, just black or VSM this time. I'm keeping my rims and stuff too.Damn dude thats all bad. Well what I really want to know is are you planning on getting a cheaper civic and getting a head start on mods/swap/exterior etc or do you think your gonna go for a different car?
