6 months old Civic got smashed!

[LD_Mart]

the side skirt will need to be re-sprayed...
but the other scratches on the rear panel and wheel arch should be able to be
buffed out but gotta go to the smash repairs and find out...

[cymax]

Yes, right now there definitely is a chance that it can be a write off. When I had my car towed to the repairers, I was talking with him about the damage and he said my car was a 50/50 chance that it would be a write off.

It depends on the assessor and how he's feeling.

Think civic_07 should meet up with the assessor to make the assessor happy. Any suggestion guys? :P

Sounds pretty bad. I've been rear ended by a 4WD that did a runner before (had a circular mark on the back bumper, most likely from its rear tow bar). That pisse me off too.

Yeh a green p plater with a supra. He lost control while going downhill on a slippery road and fully smashed into me. Not sure how fast he was going though.

...u guys are really freaking me out aye.. lol... i now only park next to a wall/pole or next to a car which is considerably more expensive than mine.. i just dont get why ppl cant pay attention when they're opening their doors

small "pimple" still alright

Hey Howy,

So does that mean that civic_07's FD still have chances to be written off at this point in time.

If so, let us all pray for him that the car can be declared as a total.

for me,if happen to me, i prefer just repair, not written off
not worth it for me

[howy]

Depends on the damage, if it's very little damage then repairs would be quicker and I suppose better for everyone.

Because with NRMA, if you are offered a new replacement vehicle you basically void your existing insurance policy. That means you hav to pay for another one. Yes, I didn't find that out until after everything was sorted out but I was already 9-10months into mine. So that wasn't a big deal for me.

But 6 months would kinda suck... Especially if insurance was expensive.

However, if the damage was quite substantial like mine where engine, a-pillar, wheels, suspension, etc... was damaged. I wouldn't feel comfortable in driving the car again after repairs. It just won't be the same even if they use genuine parts.

I'd rather the peace of mind with the new car. Just my opinion.

Finally....latest news today. The car is a total loss!

Been on the phone all afternoon with NRMA to get all the paperwork done. I've decided to go for settlement. They will send out the cheque for the argreed value minus few hundreds to pay for the rest of the insurance, I been paying monthly.

I'm glad that the whole thing is now over, been stressful 2 weeks. Once again, many thx to every1 especialy to howy, your're the champ

No probs mate! Decided on whether to get a car again? Civic?

[civic_07]

^^^ yeah, have to do all over again I guess . Still love the Civic but might go for different colour.

Other choices would be Mazda 3 or Subaru however I've been in both and don't really like their interior.
