Who crashed their TA

[ForTehNguyen]

for me geico vs grundy (agreed $90k) was about the same price per year ($1000 vs $1070 respectively). I swapped to grundy

[ViperJon]

Grundy.....150K agreed value......$1450.00 year.

Jack, late model Viper’s rarely total without frame damage

[SlateEd]

Yes, it was mine.

Rear knuckle broke, frame warped, passenger door was opened tearing through the hood, most fluids dumped either from hoses coming off or damaged holding units. I didn't look too closely but believe the xbrace is also damaged. At least 2 wheels rashed, and they've been less than gentle moving it around on a forklift so who knows what further damage they've done. Positive note is it has Belanger cats/exhaust that had only seen maybe 500mi. and before the wreck it wasn't leaking any oil from the motor.

Glad to hear you're okay, that's the most important thing! Sorry to see the car torn up, and good luck if you decide to grab another one!

Look at the the direction of the of the wheels including the left rear. basically all the body panels have damage. that car is getting close.

I wondered about that also.

RIP #74

probably better keeping the car for parts with the current shortage and high prices.

Can you pull the stereo out of this thing?

It would be interesting to generate a list of parts/cost to repair the car.

Great for salvage parts...if you are into them. The $15k bid shown is a ridiculous STEAL.
Those rocker panels over exhaust, cost $6500 each from body shop repair...or at least they did several years ago on my 2009 Vert. Not to mention, replacement body parts for the discontinued G5, are going to be astronomical, if they aren't already!!

[Bruce]

don't have the parts list but here is the estimate;

Est. Retail Value: $88,511 USD
Est Repair Cost: $67,391 USD
Ownership Doc Type: NC SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE
Odometer: 0 Not Actual
Primary Damage: FRONT END
Secondary Damage: UNDERCARRIAGE

It's #74 and was last sold by Tomball with 6,100 miles.

Since I haven't been driving my TA much, I put it on Non Op status w/ the DMV and stopped the insurance, maybe I should just sell that #63 and get and use this as a track car, as I'll have money leftover to buy a tow vehicle and trailer.

Could, they wrapped me up in so much red tape though that it wasn't cost efficient to even swap the exhaust back to stock. As for some of the other comments: driver's door and passenger rocker are the only panels that didn't take obvious damage, parts in the cockpit are in good shape minus the center cover for the steering wheel and the dash cover(airbag deployment). I agree it'd be good for parts if you have the tools and space.

Either way, hope whoever takes it sends me the hood to put on my wall if they fix it up a pic of it back on the road would do!

F@#k that, get an agreed value policy..

I rolled dice like Martin. I had no reason to want a policy covering more than current market value, so I just found favorable comparables and submitted those. There wasn't any issue with getting value out of the vehicle, all the back-&-forth headache was trying to get an appropriate diagnosis of damages, reclaiming aftermarket parts, and a reasonable buyback value
