My Is300 Has Been Hit - Looks Like A Write-off

[eddiea1]

Oh well Ive just been brought back home by a recovery truck after my IS300 was hit up the backside by a jag smashing me straight into a Seat in front. Back is quite heavily smashed in and front has sustained some quite bad damage as well

Its a 2003 03 IS300 with 23000 on the clock.....so now begins the insurance claim. How much do you all reckon Im going to get for it? Or should I say, how much should I insist its worth for insurance purposes? :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

[LennyLexus]

sorry to hear this mate!!!

you should be looking for around 17-19k :s

Hope your ok and get things sorted soon

dont know about the value, but i am "real" sorry for your loss, i assume you are ok!

[mus26c]

sorry to hear that, atleast your OK and thats the ipmortant thing

[eddiea1]

thanks guys - yeah Im ok - a little in shock a few bruises but I'll survive

[Monster-Mat]

the front looks worse than it possibly is....

i recon this will be repaired...it will all depend on how badly damaged the trunk floor is

[Adie]

Sorry to hear that mate. Glad you're ok though.

As your car is quite new and low milage i think about 19 - 20k sounds about right

[GALLA_4]

Thats sickening! I feel your pain!

Would like to see the Jag!

[MartinC]

Not good there mate :o certainly doen a few quids worth of damage, suppose it depends more on the rear which looks a good few inches shorter , front doesn't look too heavy.

Still at least you came out OK, do you want it written off? I would if it was mine

[dhs]

At least your OK! that's the most important thing, the car looks fixable, but doubt it will feel the same again. Feel for ya.

well the rear is worse than it looks - the trunk floor is quiteheavily damaged, the guy who brought me down on the flat bed truck said hed seen much less damage been written off but who knows? The spare is damaged and wedged in and the exhaust is bent and broken underneath

also on the rear passenger side the rear door has been bent in and the rear wheel scrapes against the bodywork where its been crashed into

Lexus Hatfield are picking it up in the morning so we will see........

[alajota]

I feel for you

Good thing is YOU are alive and kicking

Insurance will take care of car

And you will be back on the road soon

[Ravstar]

Sorry to see the damage mate- most important thing is you are ok, remember these things could always be a lot worse!

My car injury is so trivial compared to yours!

Guys I think we should declare June:

NATIONAL LEXUS INJURY MONTH

Drive carefully people- there are loads of wowwypops out there!

[IS300KK]

Sorry to see your beautiful car in such a state, but glad you walked away. Hope the insurance is sorted out to yor satisfaction and that you're back on the road asap.

All the best

Amanda

whats regarding insurance if someone from behind hits you and that MAKES you go into someone else

I was speaking to a friend of mine who is a lawyer in accident stuff or something, and she tells me that you are responsible for hitting the car in front, due to insufficient braking distance or something, so the guy in front can claim off you, however the guy behind is responsible for hitting you. bummer.

ok say u have left the right space (so u can see the back tyres of the car)

a car hits you at 60mph its well going to move you into the car in front

Sorry to see this mate good that you are ok...................... :)
