Crashed My Lex Today!


Recommended Posts

The car Value  that i told the ins............is 10K  ;)

blimey, mines insured for more than that and without a turbo and half your mods!

damage does look pretty nasty, may take the insurance co a while to decide on that judging by my recent experience

its rare that the actual mods are insured for replacement

the extra premium is the extra risk they are taking

be it performance where the liklyhood is of an accident is possibly higher, or from cosmetic where the likleyhood of it being stolen comes in

therefore the value would be based on the typical value of a replacement without mods

I just read the post, I glad you and your son ar ok Marcus. :)

I feel for your car and hope it will be fixed but if I were the inspector, I would write it off, there are too much damage for the car to be really safe again, moreover with a turbo. :crybaby:

yea i was wondering where the damage was from?

you skidded some way! how fast were you going?

the car went down the bank and hit the bank at the bottom and was on its side at 1st, we got out and pulled it back on its wheels, so the car was only on its side for about 3-5 mins at most.................i was going about 60 not only that i was on full boost as i was about to over take............. ;)
