totaled? there looks like there is quarter panel damage, plus where the trunk latches got pushed in quite a bid. my taillight is now halfway into the trunk :(((((

[Joe]

Jesus! you get hit in that parking lot? Normally i would say they would repair it, but with the age of the vehicle and the straitening that your gonna need, It might be totaled. sucks dude.

[jmb1983]

Buy it back and part it out if they do!

[axis]

Holy Hell, what happened?!?!

[hiprsha666]

**** man that blows

[Joe]

Buy it back and part it out if they do!

This. you can make good cash off a partout if that is totalled.

[jmb1983]

I call dibs on wheels pending specs!

I tired, but the website is so damn confusing i can't use it :(

[aspenwhitewrx]

Jesus! you get hit in that parking lot? Normally i would say they would repair it, but with the age of the vehicle and the straitening that your gonna need, It might be totaled. sucks dude.

basically... i was stoped behind traffic because someone was making a left hand turn, guy in a 06 dodge dokata must not of seen me and hit me. he said he was doing 45-50mph and i was at a dead stop. my passenger had whip lash and i have a sore back. im just waiting to see what hurts tomorrow as it always takes a day to kick in...

this blows! i dont have full coverage but because the other guy is at fault there insurance "should" cover my car. ive only had it for 1 month! i was going to get full coverage once i purchased my beater car! wtf.

[98Impreza25RS]

That blows man, Hopefully they will cover it for you

[Joe]

Ouch man, at least it wasn't a hit and run. hopefully they don't total it on you.

[aspenwhitewrx]

yea, guess they other guy had full coverage and state farm. my insurance company said i should hear from state farm in the next day or two. as long as they accept the other guy was at fault (which he is) they they will cover my car, and a rental. i just hope it all goes right. im pissed tho. i cant close my trunk and its going to rain tomorrow! i had to buy a car cover lol!
if it is totaled what are some figures i should expect to see? i purchased the car for $8400 1 month ago with 89k on the clock. as you can see it was a very clean car :( urgh. im going to start seaching for another aspen white bugeye, what are the odds of finding another one as clean as this one?! :( this is discouraging....
in the back of my head i only hope they total it if i wont lose $$$ from my purchase price, only reason is this will now be on the carfax and hurt the resale value even more if i ever did sell it way down the road... plus its hard as hell to paint match white!

[jwebsta32]

That sucks man. Glad your ok. I know a kid that has an 07 wrx with six speed swap for sale....

[RCKSTR]

Sorry man, hope you are ok.

[boxer3maine]

that is not totalled.

and 45 50mph.. you would be in the hospital, the sube would have a cracked tunnel..and totalled chances would happen then...and you would be lucky.

that looks like a 10mph hit.

sedans are squishy there... no structure. they are a curvy loyale sedan variant.

I had a white one. totalled for real.

give that a ten ounce hammer and get back on the road. what is wrong with you.

[-boz]

Mean to total a car: when repair exceeds 70%-80% of vehicle value.

I'd say it will be pretty close to totaled..

What will work in your favor.. Find out what software they are using to value your car. Certain programs return different values..

Gather a grouping of 10 different like Subarus in your area.. Only thing to watch for is the specs match, colors are not to big of an issue.

Compute the average low and average high of the group of cars.

Add the average low and average high and divide by 2..

This is what you most likely will get.

Also keep records of any maintenance and or accessories you added to the car, it will add to the final value.

Good luck.

Get your back and neck checked out.. S curvature damage can occur to the spinal cord with as little as 5mph. Get a lawyer.

[BogeyBones]

yea, you could possibly get more than just to get a new car... talk about a life full of neck pain... compensation?

[hiprsha666]

ya, make sure the insurance company knows about any neck/back pain. See a doctor too just so there is record of it.

[Vinyl Freaks]

ouchy!!!!

[twza-leggt]

That sucks man, hopefully you and your passenger are ok, you can always get another car

[Berge56]

Damn dude. Glad your ok.

[greddywrx]

Dammnnn!!

[-III]

Not totalled. This recently happened to my car. Whole quarter replaced. + many other things

[aspenwhitewrx]

I hope your right, but u don't get a feel of how bad it is until u see it in person. The guythat hit us said straight to the cops face he was doing 45-50mph, I don't know why a person would lie and say they were going faster then they really were? Usually it's the other way around no? I honestly think we just got lucky. Put it this way, the speed limit on the road is 40 or 45mph, they guy disnt touch his brakes and sailed right thru us. Luckily I have a tendency to look in my rear view every time I stop and I saw a glimpse of his bumper flying towards us, sub concensly I put both hands on the wheel (I never drive like this) and turned to the right whole slamming the brake. If I didn't I would of been pushed right into the person stoped in front of me.
My lower back really hurts today and my buddy is hurting more. We just got out of work and only made it 1 mile :(

[CanonShooter]

that is not totalled.



Agreed. How does the gap look between the back edge of the rear door and fender? As long as that gap is still there and reasonably straight, you're looking at a trunk lid, tailight and bumper cover as the main parts. This may even be an opportunity to have the entire car re-sprayed for a few bucks more.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you!

[BogeyBones]

If that's the case, pick a cool color! Rest up today man

[Seraphinwolf]

Good luck dude. That sucks! I nearly totaled my white wagon an hour away from a full week of having her. Long time ago and I still have her.

[aspenwhitewrx]

I sure hope u are right. I love this car and take huge pride in owning it. I just know if it involves any structure/frame damage it's a very good chance of being totaled, especially for it's age. Guess we wait and see what there insurance says when they decide to call

[yaya]

Hope you are doing okay. That is the most important thing, cars are replaceable.

[Instanced]

You boys need to see a doctor... asap! mri's (prolly not needed but you never know) and xrays are expensive!!!! state farm should pay for it all.

[worldrallyblue]

:( that really sucks!! i hope everything works out well and you are able to get your car back on the road. i'm glad to hear nobody was hurt and good luck!

sounds like you have been thru this? i appreciate the help.

[toomanytoyz]

Wow. That's quite the whack! Hope you and your buddy are feeling a lil better today. As mentioned above though, get to a doctor! You don't want to mess around with your back or neck! Fix you first. Cars are repairable/replaceable....

Good luck, man.

[tacoornot]

Not so boosh. Hope your ok. If all else fails, buy it back and part it out. Let me know if you need some one to go in on a partout purchace and to help tare it apart.

[98Wagoon]

dibs on tranny! :hide:

[boxer3maine]

I was behind a neon today.. looked equal/worse than your suby tragedy. Still driving down the road.

may real justice happen for your case...else it is haunting.

[aspenwhitewrx]

it drives fine, the cop let me drive it home from wilton (70 miles) the brakes lights work still lol. other then a gaping hole and the worry of it getting a soaked trunk it drove fine and straight. its just cosmetic.
how do insurance companies come up with a figure for the "buy back"?

[Bu11dogg2]

Buy back is basically what they would get from a salvage yard.

I would expect it to be $2500-$5000

[subaru_crazy]

hope your ok sucks about your car.

[tacoornot]

Buy back: they say you will be givin $8000 for them taking the car, buy back for 2500-5000 and they will just take that out of what they where going to give you. Sell the engine and drive train for 5000 and you made your money back. Or you can buy a rs/forester/legacy and do a swap with everything you have.

[aspenwhitewrx]

this hurts :(
guess we wait and see what they say about it.

[Bu11dogg2]

$5000 is extremely high for that Engine and transmission unless he includes the harness and cluster

[aspenwhitewrx]

Well got the call
It's totalled :(
6k of damage.
They offer me $8334
To buy it back it would cost $1653
So I would be crazy not to buy it back. :(
This blows!

[Subyspeed]

Sorry man :(

[squeethebee]

Buy it back, you can make that amount back easy, and buy another similar car with the profits or buy an older chassis and swap that shiz!(what I would do)

ed

[Joe]

buy an older chassis and swap that shiz!(what I would do)

ed

Def do that!! And sell what you don't need.

[aspenwhitewrx]

Anyone know of any wrx's with blown motors or something similar?

[Bu11dogg2]

the $6000.00 wrx that's forsale in Mass on here needs head gaskets ;)

[98Wagoon]

dibs on tranny! :hide:


and pedals, clutch, rear end, driveshaft, and master/slave cylinders :hide:

[aspenwhitewrx]

since im buying it back i was able to put it up on the lift and take the bumper cover off etc. after looking at it some more i think i may try and save her. im going to get a quote on what a shop would charge to straighten the quarter and lower panel etc...
depending how much it will cost i may just go ahead and fix her up and have a little money left over. i know it will have a rebuilt title but it wont do anything but hinder resale value in which i wouldn't be planing on selling it anytime soon. if i can get it straightened for under $2k i think ill be in good shape, any more and i may part it out.

[CanonShooter]

How's the gap look between the back edge of the rear door and fender?

[aspenwhitewrx]

it is slightly pushed it, maybe 1/8th of an inch right where the curve for the wheel is.

http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b403/badass_savage/IMG_1051.jpg

[CanonShooter]

That looks encouraging. I think the damage is very much repairable.

[aspenwhitewrx]

yea, the pass side quarter looks to have been tweaked a touch but nothing to bad. i think it is, its just a matter of how much it will cost for it to be pulled

[My25RSL]

Damn, that sucks....

Kbb value is over 10k...

[aspenwhitewrx]

they dont use KBB and where do you see it over 10k? every time i use KBB it is 8300ish in excellent condition.

[aspenwhitewrx]

well i got a quote to get it fixed, its slightly more then id like to put into it but not as bad as i thought. i think im going to try selling it as is, maybe someone who has connections and can get it fixed will end up with it, or maybe someone that has more room then i do to part it out. if your interested in the car let me know. it runs and drives great! lol

[Bu11dogg2]

KBB is a joke. Walk into a dealership with a KBB quote and see what they say :lol:

NADA is more accurate.

OP, I would contact your insurance company to see if they will even cover a "rebuilt" titled car.

I know mine won't.

[DHGurs]

KBB is usless. KBB is a business designed to get you to click on their ads to generate as much revenue as possible. They don't care what you get for your trade, they just want you to click on their site and their ads. Example:

KBB says my car's value with 15k miles is $35,700!!!

MSRP new was $34k

:lol:

Do the same with many late model Japanese cars (Civics, Tacomas, Accords, Legacys, WRXs) and they will all come out to suddenly be worth more than new.

/rant

[aspenwhitewrx]

well i ended up selling the car. buyer picked it up last night... they plan on fixing it and putting it back on the road!
i may try and find another or even an sti but honestly i have my eyes on a c5 http://www.ctsubie.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

[fbodydude53]

C5 FTW! good luck op! Although it does suck to hear about the subie

[aspenwhitewrx]

see what comes of it, its just a thought but i would love to drive around in a vette :) plus most are driven by older people and taken care of where as with a subie 85% of them are beat to **** so my chances are better with a vette

[tacoornot]

So what your saying is, subarus are the new hondas :sadpanda:

[aspenwhitewrx]

where do you see me say honda? hmmmmm?
im just saying my chances are very slim to find another just like the one i had, i would be afraid of always being disappointed.
