VX Accident!

Tony;

I wish the best for you and hope you heal. Looks like the VX is totally repairable. Take care of you. Took me awhile to heal for my accident and my VX was totaled. Don't under estimate any ache or pain.

Tony,

Sorry to hear about the accident, let me know if you need any help with anything.

Get yourself checked and get better!

ok here's an update. I checked out good so far gotta wait for the xray results. Had a friend double check my baby and he said that it's gonna be more than $8,000 to fix. The front stucture is shot on the driver side. Fan support was push far enough to cuz engine and tranny damage. Steering is shot so is suspension since my wheel was pushed back 4 inch on the driver side. He does insurance so he says it's shot. Now I'm running into 2 problems!
1) I love the VX too much to give up so I gotta find a new 1.
2) being the proud papa that I am wondering about getting a AXIOM cuz of the 4 doors.
Hopefully I can get more than book so I can buy a new VX and a 4 door SUV. I am diffently going to buy her back from the insurance for parts. Cuz we all know that finding what you need is never an easy task. So parts VX is worth more than gold. I'm thinking an axiom or even something in a Xterra, Liberty or even a pick-up.

Hope you heal well and soon.

Maybe look into the $5k one mentioned on this site as a donor/ receptor. Are you sure your eng./trans are shot? Was it left running for a long time after the hit?

nope truned it off right after. When my friend came over to check it we turned it over to see and it started to whale shut her off quick but he was under her and could see that there was some damage under there so now I gotta wait til monday for the adjusteer to take a peek. We all know that to get her back to good as she was is gonna take some serious time and money which I would glady do but will the insurance? Thank god she paid in full and when I bought her from a dealer a friend works at he put down I paid 25 for her.

You might want to reconsider how much information you post here. It is all publically accessible and searchable via google.

not a problem considering I pay taxes every year here in RI for a $25,000.00 VX. It seems that Rhode Island is the only state when you buy a vehicle that you keep buying taxes on it for what you paid til you die or sell the Vehicle. If you don't have a garage to store an unused vehicle you got 2 months to get rid of it, register it, or have it removed by the state.

Def hosin' ya on the buyback. Should be around/ < $3k on a 9k total.

Try googling total loss scheme, if I remember correctly that may yield info on how farmers and other ins. companies benefit by totalling cars that can be fixed.

I'm sure your atty. had a cakewalk stompin' them, because they generally don't cover mods unless you specifically notify them and re write the policy and pay a higher premium. That's why , when you have damage or theft to mods they typically won't cover replacement. Usually they cover cost to bring the car to stock specs and make it sellable on a legit, name brand dealer lot.

They make their profit by trying to minimize payouts. Ever see their corporate offices and beautiful lobbies/ artwork/ landscaping?

But, always looking for the gov't to bail them out at the first sign of trouble, and usually get it. Very influential lobbyists.
