Girlfriend wrecked my car
Not her fault really. T boned by an old lady doing 30 thru a 4 way stop.
Advice as to how to get the most money out of the insurance company would be great. I just did $2300 in service, $1000 stereo upgrade, and got the windows tinted. That'll get covered right?"One season per year, the gods open the skies, and releases a white, fluffy, pillow on top of the most forbidding mountain landscapes, allowing people to travel over them with ease and relative abandonment of concern for safety. It's incredible."

Girlfriend wrecked my car
The receipts are all in the fucking glove box. I'm 10 states away. No idea what to do. Out here in CA for a wedding.
Don't have Allstate, Progressive. Good god this is gonna be a nightmare. Why couldn't it have just been a shopping cart?Last edited by guroo270; 11-16-2015 at 01:26 AM.

Too bad it isn't a diesel that you can't sell these days.

And the girl and the old lady are OK? Enjoy the wedding. Don't worry about the receipts. Insurance probably won't pay for your recent service, radio upgrade or the loose change left in the seat cushions. I made some money over trade in value with State Farm when the kid wrecked my car. Good luck.

If grandma is determined to be at fault your insurance won't even be used to cover the costs. If it's totaled, which it appears to be with that severe frame indentation, you should be able to determine the value of your car and include the after market radio in the value. At least that was how it worked when somebody else totaled me.

True but it all depends on what grandma has for insurance. Progressive is pretty aggressive on forcing shops to use cheap parts and cutting corners. Who would have thought that when you name your own price, it covers next to nothing?

I'm sure you owe your life to a Subaru. Who gets in three life threatening car wrecks.....
Totaled should get you the window tint and stereo cash back, but I highly doubt you are getting 2300 for brake service. Which, by the by, how do you spend 2300 on brakes on a Subaru Forester?Live Free or Die

Get your hands on the receipts ASAP. They may be your saving grace. How many miles on the vehicle? Big factor. Fight will be on the trade-in value vs. private seller value, vs full retail. Look at autotrader.com and cars.com for comps.
Some dentists might mention the phrase "diminution in value" if they talk about repairing it, as well as the cost of the rental during the process.
I had a near new Denalli hit in the drivers door post from about a 45 degree angle. About $18,000 in damage. Took 14 weeks to repair, all the while I had a Suburban loaner. Then hit them up with an $11,000 diminution in value claim. They would have been much better off totaling the vehicle.
G-luck.In order to properly convert this thread to a polyasshat thread to more fully enrage the liberal left frequenting here...... (insert latest democratic blunder of your choice).

Girlfriend wrecked my car
Where are you guys getting brake service from? It was thermostat, fuel pump, timing belt and plugs.
JP, you were the first person I thought of when I saw it on its side.
And yes, GF got tagged right in the driver side door and has minor rug burn from the seat belt."One season per year, the gods open the skies, and releases a white, fluffy, pillow on top of the most forbidding mountain landscapes, allowing people to travel over them with ease and relative abandonment of concern for safety.

Funny you should ask that as it makes perfect sense when you see it. Originally Posted by glademaster

If they wont give you stereo money go take it out to put it in another car. Floor mats and spare tire are craigslist able as well to offset your loss. Insurance almost never makes you whole but shopping for same miles on a one year older model usually gets you into something with no out of pocket.
Good luck, at least every one is ok.Drink to remember not to forget!
