we have the same thing here in the USA. If the damage to the car totals more than the blue book value of the car... it's considered totalled.

 

Ouch!!!!! Sorry to hear about your car.

 

It appears your rim came through un-damaged... thats a postive!

 

God luck. That was one beautiful max. I am sure you can get it repaired to 90% original perfection.

Be sure to keep us posted!

 

Nope sorry. I talked to the insurance adjuster today and he said that they already had the new wheel on order, $485! So I take it that it was damaged. Im going in on Wednesday for the total estimate of damages. The car was towed today to the actual body shop that is repairing it. Info on all the damages on Wednesday.

BTW I picked up a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville for my rental today! Not a Max but very roomy and very comfortable.

 

O man that sucks. Glad everyone is ok. Your car was my favorite on this site. Does his insurance pay for all the aftermarket stuff?

 

You must feel very fortunate that you will be dealing with only a body/repair shop, not a hospital too and that the insurance claim will be for the car, not for an emergency room or surgery or rehabilitation. Experiences such as yours can sometimes bring priorities in to sharp focus. I hope the car repairs are completed with a minimum of hassles.

 

$3,001.65 in damage! Not as bad as I thought. Everything is repairable...mainly suspension damage. Thats basing on what they saw. Of course theyll be looking for additional damage when they start getting into the repair, hopefully nothing else. The Max should be ready in about 3 weeks.

 

is that the quote that the other guys insurance company gave you? the reason i ask is because when my accident happened, the lady's insurance company came over to look at my car and valued the dammage only at $2,467... but when i got the car fix it cost well over $5,000+. as you can see that is a huge diffrence. get the car inspected by a good body shop, and see what they car for a price to fix it. and if you already did, then disregard this entire post.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident... glad you're okay... ya had prob my fav 6th Gen... hope things work out...

 

Actually yes thats what the insurance company valued the damage at. Im certain that its more than that and theyll figure that out once they start repairing the car. Its at a good shop now so I trust they will do a good job. Plus Im not paying a penny for any of this anyway.

 

Ouch...good luck with this.

 

I cant stand to look at it poor car

 

This is the type of **** that makes me not want to put any money into my car. Glad you are ok and I hope it's not a total loss.
