. 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.

Nice, yeh but atleast you're getting a new car

What colour are you thinking of?

Man that's the worst, hitting your own car.

Can't really blame anyone.

after see one more time ur pics, looks not too bad damage on ur civic. Now insurance too easy just to give write off. Dont want much hussle

now my question : can we refuse to get write off, but fully repair instead ?

fully repair?? it will never be the same.............

I think you probably can, but as tokyonite it won't be the same.

If there was structural damage to the chassis it'll cost quite a bit to get it repaired. Repairing also takes quite some time too, so you'll be out of a car for a good month or two.

But really, would you feel safe behind the wheel of a car that's had a crash and 'wielded' back into shape again?

I mean if it's just light damage the by all means repair it, but I reckon getting a new car gives you the peace of mind that there's nothing wrong with the car.

Yeh those two colours are nice. I could understand where your mum's coming from especially from an asian point of view, haha.

**musers** · 11-07-2008 01:37 AM

omg yeah the asian point of view, the reason why my mum wouldnt let me choose black so i had to go with sparkle grey :P

ok, my next question : if write off. can we take off our accesories ? let say, our audio system ? our recaro seats ? etc...

Yes of coz, you take off your accessories and stuff when it gets towed away either before or after the assessment.

you can also claim the things that are damaged during the crash too. For example if your aftermarket stereo was damaged and you've got your receipt, you can claim it.
