want to buy a 2010 toyota aurion?

they are quite sneaky. i think i am being short changed... the $29500 agreed value was agreed when the car was stock. i actually declared the rims/tyres, buddyclub and injen on the accident day to ensure if the car was going to be repaired these items would be covered, so they were covered but the agreed value stayed the same.

i asked for the repair quote, it was more than $23k to repair and hence they decided to write it off.

included in the repair quote were $1699 buddyclub (F/L & R/R may be damaged), $550 injen (the lower pipe is dented), $720 one PF01 wheel (the tyre came off and severly damaged it), $260x2 repair for the other 2 wheels (tried to avoid the truck but i kerbed onto the island on the right hand side instead), $1100 for 3 x conti sports contact 2 (don't know why they included extra two).

the case manager advised me that these things actually made them to decide a write off instead of repair.

I see.. was wondering where your front tyre was! Can I ask what insurance company you were with? I'm guessing you'll be getting ur cheque soon?

Man that really sucks... Car looked clean as too..

Were ur enkei PF01s 18s or 17s and what tyres did you have on them? looks nice!

Good luck finding ur next car!

Watch out for the auctions,this car will more than likely be sold as a REPAIRABLE WRITE OFF,and repaired by a good panelbeater ???

I think its not fair that they wont allow you to pickup the undeclared parts. If you still have OEM parts that included in the insurance policy, you should be able to trade them with the aftermarket parts if the car is write off.

They can turn it around and not cover you at all because you have undeclared parts.

that's right. one reason aami said all mods must stay because after the accident i requested them the exact replacements (if the car was to be repaired). another reason the salvage value was calculated including all those mods.

insurance companies are very tricky you know, if they find any faults that can make them avoid covering the car, they will! apparently in UK the insurance companies will avoid covering cars fitted with retrofit HID's because they argue that the HID's are blinding oncoming cars.

they will auction it, Pickles auction?

the parts for headlamp alone cost > $2k!

i have a client who buys damaged cars, repairs them and sells for some profit, sometimes a bit of loss, it's a bit of a cash business undetected by the taxman.

btw, it was just me in the car. airbags did not go off. only some of my body parts got hurt (mind and heart )

i drove the cu2 couple of times at the dealers. it's comfy and the paddles are quite handy (missing manual a bit as i had manual cars for 13 yrs). it's the most reliable car based on a UK survey. wheels 2008 car of the year. good for long term.

just lacking the torque rushing push.

[natnat]

i will be putting the OEM wheels, suspension / spring, etc.. in eBay soon if anyone interested. can't put them here yet as no one has given me any Post Quality point

Yeah, eventhough the accident is at day time!
