    No More Parts!!

    well guys i am involved in a wild goose chase, you see the first sunday in january i was broadsided by a yukon xl in the king of prussia mall parking lot. now the damage is not that bad, (cladding banged up, door dented, door wont open) but it is still drivable i drove it home. It has been in my garage since (the door is wedge opened at the top). The guys agent came out to look at it and said there was $2800 worth of damage now we talked to out insurance and were directed to take it Grand sport auto body, very good shop they fixed my baby last accident and had done $10k on my sisters benz, however this time around they cannot get parts as easily, they were able to get the little pieces with only a little trouble but everything else is a no show. so as it is my VX sits in the garage undriven until who knows when the parts come in. so to all of you guys out there be careful and watchful because god forebid something happens who knows how long you'll be out im 2+ months now and luckily i have my talon i can drive over spring break.

    Have the shop give Merlin a call at St. Charles Isuzu. If anyone can find them he can. Also make the shop aware that to get a lot of the parts a vin# is needed. They do this so the parts don't get horded by one or two dealers...who would then jack the prices. The dealership I took mine to told me this and Merlin confirmed it.

    To avoid this kind of hassle in the future many will have to start insuring with specialty insurers, such as used in the collector car community. The general insurance industry isn't configured for the task of repairing hand-built limited production vehicles and this instance is just an example of why.

    Here's a local outfit for an idea of the different coverage you get from these places: http://www.heacockclassic.com

    Just Yahoo or Google "collector car insurance" and you'll see what I mean.

    The price of being unique!
